Description
No. 1 Tai'r Eglwys, also known as Church Cottages, is a pair of cottages built in a picturesque Gothic style. The building features a central single-storey section flanked by two equal-height gabled projections, each with windows on the upper floors. The exterior is made of irregularly coursed rubblestone, with large quoins, and the gabled part of No. 2 is rendered. The window dressings and dripmoulds are made of reddish brown brick, set above slate lintels. The roof is covered with slate and has projecting verges, with carved purlin ends visible at the gables.
The cottages have a layout of 1:2:1 bays, with windows that were originally 3-light wooden mullioned and transomed casements. However, the windows in No. 2 have been replaced with plastic versions. Each gable has an entrance on the inner return, while the outer returns do not have any openings. A tall ridge stack is located at the center, featuring toothed paired and rebated shafts with moulded capping and chimney pots. There is a similar ridge stack to the right at the junction with the gabled projection of No. 2, and it is likely that there was originally an identical stack in the same position on No. 1.
There is a rooflight on the outer roof slope of the projecting gable of No. 1, and another in the rear roof slope of the main range of No. 2. A 20th-century lean-to addition has been attached to the rear of the gabled range of No. 1, which includes a large 20th-century window on the first floor. Additionally, there is a 20th-century flat-roofed addition at the rear of the central range, featuring a triangular window above the roof slope of No. 2, which continues across the rear gable of No. 2. The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey.
