Exterior
Belongs to a group of 2.
No.21 (Arfon Cottage) & No.22.
Pair of single-storey and attic Estate cottages in Picturesque style. Very roughly coursed rubblestone with Anglesey limestone ashlar door and window surrounds; slate roof. Symmetrical composition of 1:1:1 bays, central bay taking the form of a very slightly projecting gable with stepped corner buttresses and 2 chamfered Tudor-arched doorways with C20 ribbed doors as the main entrances to the 2 cottages; gabled eaves dormers with single-light leaded latticed windows flank gable, which has 2-light leaded latticed window to the apex. Canted bays with hipped roofs and 4-light leaded latticed windows directly below the dormers; prominent integral end stacks have paired octagonal shafts with moulded capping. Lower and set-back C20 additions in similar style to original building attached to gable ends.
Interior
Interior not inspected at time of Survey.
Reason for designation
Included, notwithstanding C20 extensions, as one of a strongly composed Picturesque pair of cottages retaining much original detailing and occupying a prominent position in this important planned early Victorian estate village. One of the best-preserved such villages in this part of Wales from this period and notable for its distinctive picturesque architectural character.
