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 />
