Group Description
Ty-saer-maen and Ty-saer-coed
Built of local random rubble which has been painted over, but the left hand part has been heightened under the eaves, probably in brick and there is less rubble and more smooth walling on the right hand side, which suggest that the original stone house was extended in brick (note the chimneys), the right gable end and the rear extension is all smooth., natural slate roof. Two storeys, single depth main range with rear wings making each cottage an L shape.
The main elevation has been altered in that the original paired doorways in the centre has have the left hand one changed to a window and the left hand cottage now has its entrance in the return. The ground floor has three windows to the left and a door and two windows to the right, the first floor has two windows on either side, above the inner and outer ones. All the windows are 2-light small paned casements, but they do not all have the same pattern of glazing. The door is part glazed and has a gabled porch. Plain roof with overhanging eaves, stone stack to left gable and brick one to right.
The left return gable has the entrance door, the right return gable has a modern window in either floor and a single bay rear wing with a 3-light window below and a 2-light one above, additional single storey wing with 2-light window.
Rear elevation not seen.
