Gwelfryn

Nos 7 - 14 Mawddwy Terrace, Minllyn, Dinas Mawddwy. The terrace of 8 workers cottages is built with selected local slate laid on bed, and has slate roofs. Two cottages, bilaterally symmetrical, form a large gable at each end, set slightly forward to master the central cottages. Each cottage has a 4-paned half-glazed door with plain overlight, and 4-paned horned sash windows to both floor, all with triangular heads of shale voussoirs, and the upper floor windows set within 2 pairs of large raised gabled dormers. Deep eaves throughout on extended purlins and ridge with shaped ends. Stone stacks on party walls, with necking string and outsetting heads. The large gable ends has decorative timber framing in the upper half. The internal partitions are said to be of slate slabs set on end, another innovation of Buckley and his architect James Stephens.

Belongs to a group of Nos 7-14 Mawddwy Terrace.

The terrace of 8 worker's cottages is built in mountain-Gothic style with selected local slate laid on bed and has slate roofs. Two cottages, bilaterally symmetrical, form a large gable at each end, set slightly forward to master the central cottages. Each cottage has a 4-paned half-glazed door with plain overlight, and 4-paned horned sash windows to both floors, allow within triangular heads of shale voussoirs, and the upper floor windows in the central cottages set within five large raised and gabled dormers. Deep eaves throughout and extended purlins and ridge with shaped ends. Stone stacks on party walls, with necking string and outsetting heads. The large gable ends has decorative timber framing in the upper half. The internal partitions are said to be of slate slabs set on end, another innovation of Buckley and his architect, James Stephens.

The house, which forms the N side of the N end gable of the terrace, was probably originally designed as a shop for the village, the shop front radically altered in the 1950s to include a modern flush uPVC plate glass window.
