History
The site was Hendre farm (on the Nantclwyd Estate) in the Tithe map of 1839; an agricultural building appears to be incorporated in the northernmost cottage.
The complete terrace is shown on the Ordnance Survey map of 1874. The terrace was probably built in three phases, each being a pair of cottages. The old building facing north towards Nantclwyd at the end of the terrace was given a fair picturesque elevation with dormer windows and lattice panes. Flat roofed kitchen and bathroom extensions have been added to all six cottages at rear.

Reason for designation
One of a group of estate-built cottages in a picturesque grouping, which has fully retained its character nothwithstanding additions at rear.
Group Description
Nos 1-6 Hendre Bach, Llanelidan
Hendre Bach is a terrace of six cottages in local slatey stone with some random admixture of limestone. Although no. 1 and other parts may be older buildings refurbished, the whole is one integrated late-C19 scheme of farm and estate workers cottages. Nos. 6 and 5 at the left are a symmetrical pair, nos. 4 and 3 are an unequal pair with a lower roof level and paired central doorways, no. 2 is a double fronted cottage with two dormers, and no. 1 is a larger cottage set at right angles, with a hipped gable to the front, and a return three-window elevation presenting a superior appearance towards Nantclwyd.
The quoins and reveals of nos. 1 to 4 are formed in brickwork toothed into the stonework, and the sills and lintels of all six cottages are in limestone dressed with a pecked finish. The roofs are slate with red tile ridges; the chimneys of yellow brickwork with decorative features in red brickwork. The barge-boards and eaves fascia of nos 5 and 6 are wave-moulded.
The front elevation windows are of nine panes, with unequal sashes. The north-facing windows of no. 1 are large pairs of lattice-glazed casements, the upper casements here being within dormers. Boarded doors.
