Description

This row of five 18th century cottages is located north of and opposite the Church of St Hywyn. They are constructed of rubble masonry, primarily pebble-dashed, and each cottage features one window. The cottages are two storeys high, with half dormers on the first floor. Most have roofs covered with old slates, and the chimneys are topped with dripstones and caping. Some of the cottages have undergone modern alterations. The group of cottages holds significant value as a cohesive architectural ensemble.
