Grade II<br />

Situated in roadside position on sharp bend of the B 4409; the house is screened from the road by a high slate slab<br />

History<br />

NE<br />

Shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey 25" map, the house is likely to have been built shortly before this date as the<br />

residence for the manager of the adjoining Felin Fawr Slate Works, the principal slate and slab manufacturing<br />

yard for the Penrhyn Slate Quarry, one of the most productive in Wales. The house has recently been extended in<br />

matching style on its northern side.<br />

Exterior<br />

2-storey, parallel gable-ended ranges running at right-angles to road with single-storey outbuilding on same axis<br />

attached to south end of west (front) range and another outbuilding at right-angles to the first running parallel<br />

with roadside wall. Roughly coursed slate stone with red brick window dressings to ground floor and banded<br />

slate hanging throughout to upper level; slate roofs with overhanging verges and carved purlin and wall-plate<br />

ends. Main elevation on west has 3 segmental-headed 4-paned sashes on ground floor and 2 gabled eaves<br />

dormers with sashes in unusual arrangement of 6 panes over 3 tall rectangular panes; integral end stack to right<br />

with panelled rectangular brick shaft and similar ridge stack to left of centre. Entrance on north side, which has<br />

recently been extended to east in a style matching that of original house.<br />

Interior<br />

Interior not inspected at time of Survey.<br />

Listed<br />

Included as a well-preserved late C19 house displaying a high quality use of slate; also important for its close<br />

physical and historical association with the remarkable complex of buildings at the Felin Fawr Slate Works.<br />
