Description

Plas-uchaf is a pair of two-storey, two-room farmhouses that form a long rectangular block aligned north-south. The buildings are constructed from roughly coursed rubblestone with buttered pointing and feature a slate roof with brick coping at the gable ends. Each unit has 12-paned horizontal sliding sash windows with slate cills and lintels on both floors, flanking slightly offset lean-to stone porches. The lower left window of the southern unit and the upper right window of the northern unit have been replaced, while the lower right window of the northern unit has been infilled. There are integral red brick end stacks and a ridge stack shared between the two dwellings. The interior was not accessible at the time of the survey.
