Description

Bron Eifion and Sarn Helen An attached and reflected pair of late Georgian 2-storey 3-bay houses with hipped slate roof on moulded eaves, with roughcast stacks to the centre and R, and pebble-dashed stack to the L. The front has a veranda on wooden posts with replaced roof, hipped to the R. Each house has a central fielded-panel door (with glazed mid and upper panels to Bryn Eifion) recessed within a round-headed arch which has thin Tuscan columns with moulded capitals, blank entablature and a neo-classical iron radial-glazed fanlight.

Walls are mainly roughcast but original scribed stucco survives to the lower storey of the front. To the R is a canted bay with 16-pane horned sash window, while to the L is a 12-pane hornless sash window. The basement has 8-pane sash windows, which are horizontal-sliding on the L side and vertical-sliding to the R. The upper storey has 12-pane horned sashes. The rear has 12-pane sashes in the outer bays of the upper storey and lower R, and a small flat roof dormer to the R of centre. A tall parallel 3-storey rear wing has 4-pane sash windows.

The house retains its original central plan that comprised principal rooms on the ground floor and kitchen in the basement. A central stair hall has an open-well stair with wreathed hand rail, plain balusters and moulded tread ends. The room to the L has a slate chimneypiece and late C19 cast iron fireplace with decorative-tile panels.
