Description
1-6 Glanlliw is a two-storey former almshouse range built of slatestone rubble, featuring six one-window units. It has a continuous slate roof with a tiled ridge and oversailing verges, along with plain bargeboards. There are four late 19th-century brick chimneys with pots. The units are arranged in three reflected pairs, facing southeast, with the rear side adjacent to the road. The front elevation includes paired entrances for each of the three pairs, now enclosed within single-storey roughcast lean-to porches, which have side entrances. The windows are four-pane late 19th-century casements, with larger ones on the first floor. The rear elevation facing the road has a continuous slated lean-to that wraps around the southwest gable end, featuring six modern skylights and a modern window in the penultimate southeastern unit. An original slate dedication plaque is set into the northeast end wall of the lean-to addition, which was relocated in the late 19th century. Each unit has two windows on the first floor, consistent with the original design.
At either end of the almshouse range, there are single-storey coal shed blocks that date from the late 19th-century remodelling. These sheds are constructed of rubble with slate roofs and engineering brick quoins, featuring plain boarded doors.
The interior was not inspected during the survey.
