Group Description
Terrace of houses, Llansannan.
Late C18 or early C19 terrace of cottages, possibly built for quarrymen, located in the heart of the village of Llansannan. The houses along the range have differing masonry construction, and many retain the early fenestration to front and rear. All the houses along the terrace, with the sole exeption of the Surgery, have gardens to the front; low rubble walls with bevelled capping, surmounted by railings, paired and joined (with rounded head) alternating with vertical rails with fleur de lys finials. The gates have alternate tall and short vertical rails with fleur de lys finials, plain foot and lock stiles, with shaped wrought iron swirls over the top rail. Gateposts are square rubble piers with pyramidal caps. To the front of the Surgery is a paved area with a railed enclosure for the First World War memorial. To the rear of the range the cottages have a number of unremarkable modern lean-to and flat-roofed additions.
