History
Built l913 by Thomas Alwyn Lloyd for Lord Davies of Llandinam; a detached pair forming part of a Garden Village development.
Exterior
These houses are at the SW end set apart from the main U-shaped group. They are distinctive for the 3-sided front elevation - a plan form first used a few years earlier in the garden cities of Sir Raymond Unwin (eg Letchworth and Hampstead). The 2-storey elevation as a whole is symmetrical; rendered with steep slate roof, wide eaves and red brick chimney stacks. Small pane top hung casements of various widths, 4-light to the central (corner) section over the bay windows which have tall lean-to roofs. Either side of these are gabled porches with doors to the sides; single-light windows above and 3-light windows to extreme ends. Mostly 2-light windows to the rear; boarded door to corner and half glazed door to Bro Dawel; gabled outhouse to Iscoed.
Interior
Reason for designation
