History
A row of 3 small cottages adjacent to a Wesleyan chapel. They are late C19, but the stone plinth may relate to an earlier terrace; nothing is shown in this location on the Tithe map of 1846. A documentary source refers to a renovation in 1894.
Exterior
No. 2 is the central one of 3 cottages.
Interior
Interior not seen at resurvey.
Reason for designation
Listed for the special character of these late C19 cottages, imparted particularly by the polychrome brickwork.
Group Description
1-3 Wesley Row
A row of 2-storey cottages, each 1-window. Those to L and centre are a mirrored pair with doors towards centre; the R-hand cottage has doorway to R end. The front is of chequered red and yellow brickwork, with bullnose brick eaves cornice; earlier stone plinth with bullnose brick coping. Slate roof with boarded eaves; red brick stacks with yellow brick quoins to L end and R of centre. The lower storey has 12-pane horned sash windows with gauged chequered brick heads and slate sills; upper storey has 3-over-6-pane horned sashes with slate sills immediately under the eaves. Mid-C20 part-glazed wooden doors. Roughcast S gable end, the rear not seen.
Adjoining to the R is the single-storey Wesleyan chapel, rendered and lined under a slate roof, and slate-hung to S gable. It has a long-wall façade, with panelled door to R and 2 x12-pane horned sash windows with wedge lintels and stone sills to L. Between the windows is a wooden tablet reading 'Methodist Church, Llangurig, 1814'.
