History
Originally farm buildings (No 4 was a cart shed), but converted to 2 dwellings in mid C19 after they became part of the Glanusk Estate, created by Joseph Bailey of Glanusk Park in the 1840s largely out of enclosed common land. The cottages differ from other estate cottages as they were converted from farm buildings. No 3 was badly damaged by fire late C20.

Interior
Not inspected at time of survey (August 1997).  

Reason for designation
Good example of Victorian estate cottages, part of an impressive group of Estate buildings at Pont-y-bryn-hurt.  

Group Description
3 and 4 Pont-y-bryn-hurt Pair of double-fronted one-and-a-half storey cottages (No 3 to L is narrower) of rubble sandstone with stone tile roofs. Coursed, rock-faced stone stacks to R and L added C19. Windows and half dormers have 2-light casements, the doors are boarded, and all openings have stone lintels.
