Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.

Location
Row of cottages, Nos 19-24 (consec), located on the S side of the main street at the centre of Abererch.
History
The terrace of cottages Nos 19-24 (consec) were built probably in the early-mid C19.
Exterior
Located at the E end of the row, with a blockwork lean-to added to the gable. 1930's style door with oval glazed panel, and 12-pane replacement timber window to the first floor.
Reason for designation
Included, notwithstanding alterations in the C20, as a member of a significant row of early C19 village vernacular cottages probably the earliest and simplest of the rows of cottages which form the essence of the character of the conservation area in this nucleated village. The extent of the row and the quality of detail suggests they were built by an adjacent landowner or wealthy farmer for workers.
