Gwynfa

Gwynfa is a terrace of six workers' cottages located at Mawddwy Terrace in Minllyn, Dinas Mawddwy. Built in a mountain-Gothic style, the cottages are constructed with 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 to dominate 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 and gabled dormers. The design includes deep eaves supported by extended purlins and a ridge with shaped ends. Stone stacks are positioned on the party walls, featuring necking strings and outsetting heads. The large gable ends showcase decorative timber framing in their upper halves. Inside, 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. This terrace belongs to a group of Nos 1-6 Mawddwy Terrace.
