Description
This is a row of ten workers' cottages located in Corris Uchaf. The cottages were built using rubble stone, whitewashed to the front, and have slate roofs. They stand in a straight line, with each cottage featuring a single two-storey bay. Each has a framed and boarded door and 16-pane sash windows on both the ground and first floors. Stone stacks are set into the party walls between the cottages. Alterations have been made to the rear of the buildings. One cottage has a late 19th-century four-pane sash window on the ground floor.
