Cottage, formerly several dwellings, in two right-angled ranges enclosing a cobbled yard at the rear. Single storeyed. Modern roughcast over stone with Ffestiniog slate roof (replacing old grouted slate roof). Earliest range aligned SW-NE has one axial and two gable end squat stacks. It comprises 4 single units, each with a single window beneath the eaves; doorways in first and third units from left. All openings are modern - the casement windows replacing earlier sashes. In the rear elevation, one 8-pane fixed light window survives. Range parallel to the street has 2 squat axial stacks, and modern windows (mainly small but one in an enlarged opening). Modern windows in rear elevation (possibly in earlier openings), and two doorways (perhaps the evidence for an earlier orientation away from the road, and for independent access to individual units?). Flat roofed extension (added c1970).

Unusual layout of 2 ranges, each comprising 4 single plan units. Gable end stacks serve the outer units in the SW-NE range, with an axial stack shared between the two central units. Where fireplaces are exposed, they are small, with simple timber bressumers, and stepped chimney breasts. Roof trusses in each room are slight A-frames with jointed collars ; they spring from below wall-plate level and support flat through purlins. Range at right-angles has back-to-back fireplaces in axial stacks, offset. Roof trusses are of a somewhat later type, and spring from wall-plate level.
