Description
Fron-y-Graig is a three-storey terrace range that was originally built as three houses but has been converted into two. The building is constructed of dressed stone and features a recently renewed slate roof with overhanging eaves. There is a large chimney stack on the left side, which has simply moulded capping and weather coursing. To the right, there is a single modern skylight above Tan-y-Fron.
The front of the building has a three plus one window arrangement. The three units each consist of two bays, with the central unit having two windows and the flanking units having one window each. The outer units have entrances at the extreme ends. The doors are contemporary and recessed, featuring six flush panels, with the right-hand door having a boarded lower section. The two right-hand units also have rectangular fanlights with lozenge glazing. The ground and first floors have contemporary, slightly recessed 16-pane sash windows with flat arches and projecting slate sills, while the second floor has similar 9-pane windows.
In front of Tan-y-Fron, there is a single-storey modern garage.
