Description
Tan-y-Ffordd is a single-storey building constructed from white-painted and rendered rubblestone, topped with a grouted slate roof that features coped verges on the right gable end. It has integral end stacks and a shared ridge stack at the center, all equipped with slate drips. Each cottage within the building follows a two-unit plan, with central entrances flanked by 19th-century four-paned sash windows. There are two additional sash windows located on the rear wall facing the road. A projecting single-storey lean-to is present on the left gable end. The interior was not accessible during the survey.
