The cottage to the left (west) of the terrace. Narrow windows above and below in the left side elevation.
Interior
Reason for designation
Part of a terrace of cottages with workshops related to the new community based on the Vyrnwy Reservoir. A composed group of cottages of picturesque character, which have been carefully conserved.
Group Description
Nos. 3-6 (consecutive) Glanrafon and attached workshops
A planned symmetrical terrace of four two-storey cottages plus workshops built in uncoursed slightly rock-faced local slate masonry, with slate roofs, timber bargeboards and red brick chimneys. The first and last cottages act as crosswings to the group, with gables to front and rear. The gables project slightly at front. The second and third cottages have lower eaves and their upper windows at front and rear are through-eaves dormers.
Each cottage has a pair of 12-pane wood casements separated by a stone mullion above and below (not aligned and the upper windows slightly smaller), and above at rear, with stone sills and concrete lintels. Six-panel front door with a simple canopy supported by brackets.
The adjacent workshop is similar. It is L shaped, with its rear range hip-roofed, the hips dressed with metal. Pair of casements at front similar to those of the cottages; in the east elevation are double doors at left with timber boarding above, a small hatch, a heck door and a small-pane window.
