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.

History
Early C19 terraced house.
Exterior
Mid terraced house; built of local rubble masonry laid roughly to courses. Three window range with entrance through central lean-to porch. Windows are 6-pane horned sashes; ground floor with rough stone lintels, first floor directly under the eaves. Large stone and brick ridge chimneys to either end of house, that to left (W) end partly rendered. The porch is an addition, built of similar materials to the main house. Directly in front of the porch is a First World War memorial set within a small railed enclosure; the surgery does not retain the small wall and railed gardens of the other houses along the terrace.
Reason for designation
Included as part of a particularly well preserved terrace of late C18 or early C19 village houses. The terrace retains much of its character particularly in the retention of so much of its original fenestration.
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.
