Gwelfryn

Gwelfryn is a terrace of eight workers' cottages located at Nos 7 - 14 Mawddwy Terrace in Minllyn, Dinas Mawddwy. Built in the mountain-Gothic style, the cottages are constructed from selected local slate laid on bed and feature slate roofs. The two end cottages are bilaterally symmetrical and form large gables that are set slightly forward, dominating the central cottages. Each cottage has a 4-paned half-glazed door with a plain overlight, and 4-paned horned sash windows on both floors, all topped with triangular heads made of shale voussoirs. The upper floor windows in the central cottages are set within five large raised gabled dormers. The cottages have deep eaves supported by extended purlins and ridges with shaped ends. Stone stacks are located on the party walls, featuring necking strings and outsetting heads. The large gable ends display decorative timber framing in their upper halves. Internally, the partitions are said to be made of slate slabs set on end, which is an innovation attributed to Buckley and his architect James Stephens.

The house that forms the northern side of the northern end gable of the terrace was likely originally designed as a shop for the village. However, the shop front was significantly altered in the 1950s to include a modern flush uPVC plate glass window.
