A small 17th century timber framed farmhouse on the Powys-Shropshire border could be given listed status by Cadw.

Graigfryn, in the small village of Snead, near Churchstoke, could be set to be protected as a Grade II-listed building pending a public consultation which closes on March 30.

During the consultation it will be treated as a listed building meaning no further work can be done while the month-long process takes place.

Giving a reason for its interim protection, Cadw said: “Listed as a good example of a smaller seventeenth century rural house, which has retained its original character through an interesting sequence of alterations in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, despite some more recent alterations such as uPVC windows and render. Group value with Snead farmhouse (7701) which is of similar date.”
