  • The original house was built on this site near Llansadwrn, Anglesey, during the 14th century, and it is regarded as a unique example in north Wales of a timber-framed building which was later enclosed with stone. However, such buildings were common in the west of England. Cadw have undertaken extensive resoration work at the house during the past few years.
