Tanysgafell

Nos 3 and 4 Tanysgafell in Llandygai are a symmetrical pair of single-storey cottages, each with two rooms, built from slate-hung rubblestone and topped with a slate roof. Each cottage has a central entrance that leads to an originally open hip-roofed slate porch. The porches are flanked by small hip-roofed canted bays, which have slate cills supported by carved slate brackets. The right cottage, No. 3, features horizontal sliding sash windows with leaded latticed lights, while the left cottage, No. 4, has replacement plastic windows. Both cottages have slate slab end chimneys and ridge stacks, all with stepped capping and slate-sheeted bases, except for the ridge stack on No. 4, which has been rebuilt. There is a continuous single-storey lean-to at the rear of the cottages.

Inside, No. 3 has a large room on the left that is open to the roof, revealing the base of an A-frame truss at the center. It includes a slate slab fireplace with a slate lintel connected to a shared stack and a full-height heck (screen) immediately to the left of the entrance. The front door opens directly onto a straight-flight staircase with stick balusters and a turned bottom newel, leading to a loft room above the smaller right ground-floor room. No. 3 also has a 20th-century porch with a half-glazed outer door and a fully glazed inner door, while No. 4 has a 20th-century outer door to its porch. These cottages belong to a group of two.
