History
Victorian terrace of workers' cottages, probably erected c1870. The Bala to Dolgellau railway, which included a station at Llanuwchllyn, opened in August 1868 and this and other terraces in Llanuwchllyn are representative of its impact on the village. The buff-coloured stock bricks used for the voussoirs and chimneys were doubtless brought in by rail.
Exterior
Interior
The interior was not inspected at the time of survey.
Reason for designation
Listed as part of a second-half C19 terrace retaining good original external character; a well-preserved example of village vernacular building.
Group value with other listed items in Church Street.
Group Description
Nos 1-6 Church Street (consec)
Two-storey terrace of 5 former single-window cottages with a larger, 2-window unit at the L end forming the sixth. Of local igneous rubble construction with continuous, medium-pitched slate roof and 6 chimneys of buff stock brick; these with cornice banding and off-set dentilations. Cambered brick openings to the ground floor; first-floor windows under the eaves. No 1 is a 2-window unit with central entrance and large left-hand window, the latter suggesting an original use as a shop; modern out-of-character door and uPVC glazing to the windows (in imitation of small-pane cross-windows; similar first-floor glazing (faux 2-part, 6-pane casements). Nos 2 and 3 are similarly 2-window units. No 2 has a part-glazed C20 door and uPVC windows (imitation 4-pane to the ground floor and 2-pane casements to the first floor). No 3 retains its original boarded and framed door and small-pane, timber-framed cross-windows with wrought iron opening lights. To the R of this is a former cottage, now divided and absorbed into nos 3 and 4 flanking. This, together with the remaining units in the row were originally one-window cottages. The former entrance to this is now reduced to a plain-glazed cross-window and forms part of no 3. The adjacent window, now part of no 4, is a plain-glazed, 2-pane C20 casement; this unit with plain C20 door and similar window to R; plain 2-pane casements to the upper floor. No 5 retains its original door and upper floor window, as before; no 6 has uPVC cross-windows and a modern out-of-character, part-glazed door.
