Description
Carrog is a two-storey, three-window farmhouse that has been extended to the southwest. It is constructed from local rubble stone and features a thin slate roof. On the left side, there is a rectangular stone chimney, while a smaller brick chimney is located on the ridge. The main front of the house faces northwest.
On the first floor, there are three vertically proportioned small-pane casement windows set at the eaves, along with an additional small window to the right. The entrance doorway is located beneath a shallow gabled brick porch. The ground floor has openings beneath deep stone lintels, including one small-pane casement window to the left of the porch and three narrower similar windows to the right, with another doorway to the right of these windows.
At the western corner, there is a single-storey gabled shed built from matching materials, which features a small-pane window in its northwest-facing gable and a brick chimney above. At the rear of the farmhouse, there is a small window set at the eaves with casement glazing, and to the left, a loft doorway accessed by stone steps. On the ground floor, there are two small casement windows.
The authors of The Old Cottages of Snowdonia describe Carrog as one of the finest examples of stone walling in Snowdonia.
