History
Built as part of a small planned group of 3 paired cottages for workers at the nearby Penrhyn Slate Quarry, the cottages are likely to have been built c1850 and as such are typical of Edward Douglas-Pennant's considerable efforts to improve the Penrhyn Estate, to which he had succeeded in 1840.
Exterior
Belongs to a group of 2.
Nos.5 & 6 Ffrwd Galed, Tregarth, Llandegai.

Central entrance to each cottage flanked by 3-light 18-paned windows with slate cills, left cottage (No.6) with boarded door, right (No.5) with 4-panel door under gabled open timber porch; integral end stacks and shared ridge stack to centre, all with stepped capping and slate drips. Loft window to right gable end.
Interior
Interior not accessible at time of Survey.
Reason for designation
