Full Report for Listed Buildings
The list description is not intended to be a complete inventory of what is listed: it is principally intended to aid identification. By law, the definition of a listed building includes the entire building (i) and any structure or object that is fixed to the said building and ancillary to it and (ii) any other structure or object that forms part of the land and has done so since before 1 July 1948, and was within the curtilage of the building, and ancillary to it, on the date on which said building was first included in the list, or on 1 January 1969, whichever was later.
Date of Designation

Name of Property
Cartrefle
Locality
Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain village
Location
At north side of the main street of the village, about 50 m west of the Sun Hotel.
History
Early C19. The terrace carries a stone above the entry marked with the letters D E J and the date 1832, though Cartrefle may be a little earlier. many of the windows have a stylistic feature (diagonally crossed bars in the upper parts of the lights) found locally from about 1815. The initials appear to link these cottages with Victoria Terrace nearby.
Exterior
As a three-window cottage with a casing to its front door and framed by shallow brick pilasters, Cartrefle appears to have been of higher status than the other five cottages of the terrace.
Slightly asymmetrical window openings with rubbed brick flat arches and stone sills, except at bottom right where the window is altered to a late C19 pair with a stone lintel. The windows generally are 16-pane hornless sash windows; the pair at bottom right are horned sash windows with small panes in the heads of the upper sashes only.
Reason for designation
An integral part of a terrace of early C19 cottages, well preserved apart from some minor alterations of detail.
Group Description
Cartrefle and Nos.1-4 Rose Cottages, with walled and railed forecourt
An irregular terrace of cottages consisting of one large cottage to the left, and four others symmetrically centred on a rear entry passage. The latter four consist of one single fronted, two double fronted, and one single fronted with an additional window over the door of the last. The terrace is in local light red brick at front, uncoursed stonework at rear and right gable; the exposed part of the left gable is slate-hung above brickwork. Slate roof with tile ridge and five mid-chimneys.
