The house is probably late 16th or early 17th-century in origin, and represents a hall-house with central service room and end parlour. Previously known as Ivey Cottage, after a manager of the Bersham Ironworks, the name was changed ca. 1980. Single-storeyed, 3-unit plan with the doorway towards the right. The walls are of whitewashed rubble, with a thatched roof, and timber framing is exposed to the lower gable. A parallel rear range was added ca.1980. Internally, the doorway opens directly into hall, which is open to collar level, with rough purlins and rafters exposed. There is a roughly chamfered curved bressumer to the gable fireplace. A square panelled timber framed partition has heavy plank doors to either side, giving access to a service room at the front, and a rear lobby housing staircase. There is a further square panelled framed partition wall between these small rooms and the former parlour, which has a roughly-chamfered axial beam.
