History

Early C19 farmhouse, built c.1812. Pandy Treban was a fulling mill which formed part of the Bodorgan estate and is first recorded as such in the estate survey by Lewis Morris, 1724-6. The mill buildings and the old house lie NW of the present house, which was recorded as having been built by the tenant, Robert Roberts, in the estate survey of 1812. The building was extended by an addition to the rear of the kitchen late C20.

The lofted kitchen is a single window range with entrance through doorway to left; windows are slightly recessed hornless sashes, ground floor openings with exposed brick lintels, loft windows set under the eaves.
