Description
Ty Capel is a mid-19th century two-storey terrace consisting of two cottages, constructed of rubble with a continuous slate roof and plain end and central chimneys. The northeast cottage, Bron-y-Graig, features an entrance with a boarded door on the right, accompanied by a plain rectangular fanlight. To the left, there is a 12-pane 19th-century recessed sash window with a projecting sill and slate lintel. The southeast cottage, Ty Capel, has a modern central door flanked by similar windows. Each unit has two additional sash windows on the first floor, matching the style of those below. The rear of the cottages has original windows, with the southeast cottage featuring a modern glazed door. The northeast unit includes a storeyed 20th-century bathroom addition at the rear.
