History

Probably mid C19 house. The building is not marked on the tithe map of the parish, 1840, but was built on a parcel of land described as 'Tir y Llan'; owned by Louisa Jane Oakeley of Plas Tan-y-bwlch and occupied by Cadwaladr Evans.
Offered up for sale in the auction of the Plas Tan-y-bwlch estate, 1910, in Lot 12 'The Picturesque Rural Village of Maentwrog'. The property was described as Tanffordd - Cottage and buildings, occupied by Griffith Roberts, for an annual rent of £8-0s-0d (£8.00).

Exterior

A small single storey cottage. Built of mortared rubble masonry. Slate roof with stone coping at S end and large stone stack at N gable. The principal elevation faces the road to E, a 4-window range with central doorway; windows are modern timber casements.

Interior

The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey (June/July 2003).
