Description In 1906 Tobias Peyton owned a property at Breanrisk valued at almost £15. This had been the family home of his mother, Frances Ellis. At the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s it was occupied by Thomas H. Ellis and valued at £8. The National Built Heritage Service suggests the original house dates from c.1780. It is labelled The Hermitage on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the early 20th century, the name by which it is still known.
