Ty Newydd (1)

Nos 1 and 2 Ty Newydd are a pair of estate cottages built in the third quarter of the 19th century. They are one-and-a-half storeys tall and were constructed for Lord Penrhyn after he acquired the estate in 1856. The cottages are made of rubble with cambered heads over the ground floor openings. They have a continuous slate roof with a tiled ridge and deep verges.

The cottages feature shared central and gable end chimneys that are tall and have moulded cornices and cappings, along with weathercoursing. They are designed as double-fronted, reflected pairs, although the northern unit (No 1) is slightly longer due to remodelling. Each cottage has a half-glazed 20th-century door at the central entrance, which is sheltered by a slate-roofed open lean-to porch.

On either side of the doors are modern casement windows with projecting sills, and there are tall, slit-like outer windows beyond. Above each porch, there is a 2-pane casement window under the eaves, with similar flanking windows that slightly break the eaves, contained within mid-20th-century flat-roofed dormers. These dormers and the modern windows are alterations; the original windows, like those above the porch, were located under the eaves, as can still be seen on No 2. At the rear, both units have modern extensions and additional flat-roofed dormers.
