The house was built in the early nineteenth century and is set back some way from the road, surrounded by its own grounds.
The building dates from the early nineteenth century, probably 1813 to 1814;[1] such substantial town houses are relatively rare in West Wales in that period.
The house was built for David Lloyd Harries who had been an attorney in the town since 1808.
In 1870, it passed into the hands of Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Pryse Lloyd, who changed his name to Lloyd-Harries when he came into his inheritance.
Semi-circular stone steps lead up to the half-glazed door, the porch having two large Roman Doric columns.
