Description
Pen-y-bont Cottages is a row of six two-storey cottages located in the Corris Community. The cottages vary in form and width and are slightly angled at the center, with the eastern pair, Nos 5 and 6, stepped up to follow the rise in the land. They are constructed of stone and pebbledashed, featuring painted margins around many window and door openings, as well as a painted plinth. The cottages generally have boarded doors and either casement or sash windows. The roofs are slate with red tile ridges, and there are stone and blue-brick chimney stacks. Low forecourt walls surround the cottages.
No 1 is situated at the western end of the row. It has two broad bays, with the left bay slightly projecting and containing a boarded door and four-pane unhorned sash windows on each floor. A former door in the west gable end has been converted into a window. The corner angle of No 1 is painted black, as are the architraves around the openings. There is a stone chimney stack on the party wall, along with a later blue-brick stack on the gable end.
