Y Bwthyn

Y Bwthyn comprises five 1½-storey cottages on Wexham Street, forming a row of painted pebble-dashed structures with steep slate roofs and roughcast chimney stacks that have been reduced in height. Each cottage is organised around a central doorway flanked by windows, with a gabled dormer positioned above the doorway. Photographs from around 1912 and 1937 show that Nos 4 and 6 originally had raked dormers, now replaced with gabled versions.

No 2 has a replacement half-glazed door with a gabled canopy and renewed 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash windows. No 4 features smooth-rendered surrounds, an early 20th-century style half-glazed panel door with leaded lights set beneath a slate canopy on brackets, 4-pane horned sashes in the lower storey, and a similar 6-pane window in the dormer. No 6 retains a fielded-panel door under a gabled canopy and renewed 4-pane horizontal-sliding sash windows. No 8, larger than cottages 2 through 6, has a modern panel door with glazed panel in a rendered surround with a simple bracketed canopy, renewed 12-pane horizontal-sliding sashes, and a 2-light small-pane casement in the dormer. No 10, the largest house in the row, displays a half-glazed door with fielded panels and Gothic intersecting glazing bars set in a freestone surround with moulded cornice, and 2-light casement windows. A rubble-stone garden wall with a boarded door is attached to the left end of No 10.

The left gable end of No 10 contains a small stair light positioned right of centre. Rear elevations show significant alteration: No 10 has a replacement window to the right below a skylight and a long 1-storey pebble-dashed rear wing with slate roof and 20th-century detail; No 4 has been raised at the rear with a gabled 2-storey wing featuring a monopitched projection; and No 2 has also been raised with an added 1-storey projection.

The building forms part of a group with 2-10 Wexham Street.
