Description

A symmetrical range of 6 almshouses built of rubble stone with slate roofs with tall stone stacks. The range has a gabled central block; a cobbled pathway leading to an arched through passage with access to Bryncastell on the left and Berth-lwyd on the right, recessed side wings with two windows and an end door against the projecting end wings. The left wing comprises two dwellings, Daron and Ty Newydd, and the right Hen Ysgoldy, incorporating the former Red Lion. Each house has a boarded door with a small glazed light and a plain overlight, and 12-paned sash windows, with two gabled raised dormers in the recessed sections. The right wing is of two full floors, giving a higher eaves, and has old grouted slates and clayware copings, the front gable rendered. The central arch has a boarded tympanum, probably a later alteration to extend the upper floor accommodation at the same level. The right wing has been extended to the rear. Over the central arch, a slate tablet inscribed in Latin was apparently placed there in 1760.

RCAHM reports that the only original roof is that over the E wing.
