Group Description
Nos 1-6 Cae'r Lwyn Cottages (consec)
Row of 6 single-storey cottages. Picturesque style. Irregularly coursed rubblestone with large quoins and reddish brown brick segmental heads and dripmoulds, the left cottage (No.1) now pebbledashed; slate roofs, only right cottage (No.6) retaining the original graded slates, extending over low-eaved lean-to verandah. Symmetrically grouped as 1: 2: 2: 2: 2: 2: 1 bays, comprising single-bay projecting gabled end sections and 2-bay sections (under verandah) alternating with 2-bay hip-roofed projections. Wooden windows largely original in 3 lights with simple pointed Gothic tracery and hollow spandrels, except to No.1 which has plastic windows and infilled verandah. To the other cottages the verandah retains its original open form, although several of its posts have been renewed; it is best preserved to the right cottage (No.6) where the original rustic posts and braces remain. Rendered ridge stacks to left and right of gabled end sections (that to No.1 rebuilt), paired ridge stacks between Nos.1 & 2 and Nos.3 & 4 demolished but that between Nos.5 & 6 remains; shared ridge stacks between Nos.2 & 3 and Nos.4 & 5 on hipped projections. Flat-roofed dormer inserted to No.3.
