Group Description
1 and 2 Pont-y-bryn-hurt
Pair of Gothic style estate cottages of 2 storeys. Of snecked, rock-faced sandstone with limestone dressings. Half-hipped roof of patterned tiles with overhanging eaves, 4 gabled roof dormers with trefoil openings and louvres, a central ridge stack (part renewed in brick) and stepped stone stacks behind to R and L. The front has paired cross-gables advanced in centre which have 3-light mullioned windows with blind trefoil-headed lights in the lower storey, and paired lancets with a hood mould in the upper storey. In the gables are narrow louvered openings. A deep moulded plat band continues on L side of cross gables above a lean-to canopy on timber posts, beneath which is a doorway to R under a lancet head with a boarded door and 2-pane overlight. Above in the upper storey is a 3-light mullioned window with cusped heads. To R of cross gables is a boarded door with 2-pane overlight to L under a 2-centre head with hood mould. Above doorway is a 2-light mullioned window. To R of doorway is a canted bay with a central detached red sandstone shaft with moulded capital, and sash windows. In the R end wall is a shallow one-storey projection with weathered coping, and a 2-light window in the upper storey. In the L end wall is a canted bay window similar to front, and a 2-light mullioned window above.
The rear elevation has paired gablets to centre each with 2-light mullioned windows in 1st floor offset to centre and above door and window in lower storey. Flanking the gablets are lower advanced cross gables which have one-light upper storey windows and one-light windows in side wall of lower storey. From the outer angles of the cross gables are low walls defining a yard backed by sheds, which are faced in brick and built as lean-tos against a rubble stone outer wall with narrow breathers in dressed surrounds.
