Description

The cottage has been known by different names over the years including Parsonage House, Brynhelyg (Willow Hill) and Church Cottage. It is grade II listed and the provisional listing describes it as being:

“Probably constructed early nineteenth century as the parsonage to St Andrew’s church. The existing church is an 1866 rebuilding of a smaller church of 1814. The cottage is shown on the 1847 Tithe Map as owned by the church - by the Rev. David Evan Morgan - and occupied by David James who was also shown as responsible for the parish roads and pound…. Large fireplace with timber bressummer surviving in former kitchen to left. Exposed rafters and joists in extension and exposed rafters on upper floor of house….Included for its special architectural interest as a good example of a modest west Wales vernacular house of the early nineteenth century. Group Value with St Andrew’s church.”

The stone walls, which are over two feet thick, are limewashed and coloured with a natural earth pigment. The accommodation consists of a living-room, dining-room, kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom. Over the years the property has been used a bolt-hole and a successful holiday let.
