Description
Pandy'r-Odyn Cottages is a building that features a one-and-a-half storey range on the right, which is separated by an asymmetric gabled cross range from an earlier 18th-century single storey cottage on the extreme left. The structure is built with rubble masonry and has steeply pitched slate roofs with deep eaves. The right range and the gabled cross range display exposed purlins and bargeboards. There are three tall diagonally-set stone stacks with water tabling, and a similar stack is located at the centre of the older cottage on the left.
The right range has five loft windows positioned under low swept dormers at the eaves. It also includes four two-light casements with pointed heads and stone sills, along with a single three-light casement featuring a cambered head on the left. A modern window is present in the cross-gable. The older cottage has a gabled dormer that is entirely set within its roof, along with bargeboards. The ground floor of the right range has six two-light casements, and the original heavy mullioned style is preserved in the cottage (formerly two) at the extreme right, complete with stone lintels.
There is a small rectangular bay with a stone slab roof on the right side of the cross-wing, which has a three-light casement. Another three-light casement with a stone lintel is found on the left. The older cottage on the right has two doorways and a two-light mullioned window on the extreme left, also with a stone lintel. The left end and rear elevations feature modern fenestration.
