Description


Broad Class
Domestic  
Period
 

History
First of a terraced row of five mid to later C19 cottages, marked on 1877 OS map. The best surviving range of such cottages in the region. The development of Ystradgynlais and the surrounding valleys was by the building of short terraces on existing roads, initially for workers in the limestone quarries, later for colliery workers. These houses are probably associated with stone quarrying.  

Exterior
No 74 is numbered 5 on front door. Earlier C20 door with oval light, as on No 82.  

Interior
Not inspected.  

Reason for designation
Included as a terraced house, one of the least altered row in the district, with distinctive multi-coloured stonework.  

Group Description
Nos. 74-82 Heol Giedd. Terraced row of cottages, squared multi-coloured rubble stone, brown, purple and grey, with grey stone voussoirs to openings and painted stone sills. Slate close eaved roofs and 5 chimney stacks, 4 rendered, one between Nos 76 and 78 rebuilt in brick. Two storeys, 4 double fronted cottages and no 82, possibly added later, smaller with one window-range to left of door. Outshut rears. Windows are cambered-headed horned sashes of 6 panes but the centre pane of each sash very narrow.
