The Cottage

The Cottage is a two-storey building with an earlier structure made of rubble stonework, partly rendered and pebbledashed, topped with a slate roof. It features three bays, with an extension to the west that adds two more bays set at a slight angle. The front door includes glazed panels, while the two bays to the right of the door have 12-pane sash windows, and the two bays to the left have paired 8-pane sashes. There is a tall gable stack and a larger stack at the junction with the extension, both enhanced with 19th-century diagonally set shafts. The extension also has a small bellcote on its west gable end.

At the rear, there is a later house constructed of stone, reportedly sourced from the demolished wing of Wern Fawr, and rendered. The front entrance is sheltered by a lattice timber porch, which connects to a lean-to range linking the two buildings. The door is panelled and features margin glazing. The ground floor has a tripartite 8-pane sash window, with two additional 8-pane sash windows above, all equipped with concealed boxes. The rear house boasts two prominent chimney stacks, each with four tall diagonally set flues.

In the link building, near the door to the rear house, there is a carved slate coat of arms, quartered for Llywarch ap Hwlbwrch and Collwyn ap Tangno, with a shield in pretence for the Love Parry family, which was also brought from Wern Fawr. Although not observed during the inspection, the rear house is reported by RCAHM to have a good open well stair featuring slender turned balusters and pillar newels, with a wreathed handrail.
