An ancient site near the Afon Nantmor; an earlier house on the site was the home of the early C15 bard Rhys Goch Eryri. The present house appears to have formed one range of a unit-planned development, the remainder of which is lost or ruinous. The early C17 primary section was a lateral and end chimney storeyed house, though this was subsequently altered and extended in the C18; further modern alterations and additions have been carried out within the last twenty years.  

Large one-and-a-half storeyed farmhouse of T plan. Rubble construction with modern slate roof, the former gable parapets lost; plain bargeboards. Two central stacks (originally a lateral and a gable stack) and one end chimney, all with plain capping. The main, garden facade, has a 7-bay ground floor, the 5 right-hand bays of which are primary. with irregular modern casement windows contained, for the most part, within enlarged openings; slate sills. The second bay from the R has a modern multi-pane glazed door; 4 modern casements to the first floor, breaking the eaves and contained within large gabled dormers. Large modern windows to the L gable on both floors. The main entrance is in the rear gabled wing, at the angle between it and the primary section; modern boarded door. Further, similar windows to this side, and a C20 lean-to addition extruded between the primary and rear ranges on the other side to the entrance.  

The interior was not inspected at the time of survey, although stop chamfered beams and a wide fireplace with oven and primary stone winding stair are recorded. A section of grooved post-and-panel partition, now positioned to the L of the fireplace, was relocated from the first floor this century.  

Listed for its special interest as a C17 storeyed house retaining some original character.
