3 Glandwr Cottages including garden wall and gates

Belongs to a group of: No's 3 and 4 Glandwr Cottages.

Mirrored pair of late C19 estate built cottages in the simplified gothic style characteristic of the Tan-y-bwlch estate at this period. Built of mortared rubble masonry with large stones as quoins and lintels. Slate roof with overhanging eaves and verges; broad central stone stack with dripstones and capping. Each house has a gabled half dormer that breaks the eaves line to the centre of the principal elevation, they are advanced from the wall and have timbered panelling at the apex and are surmounted by shaped finials; similar, but open, panels are at each gable apex. There is a full width, slate roofed verandah on timber piers along the main elevation. Doorways are aligned to the outer ends of the main elevation and windows are timber casements of 2 and 3-lights with slate sills. The garden is enclosed by a low rubble wall with raking stone slab coping, articulated by tall square gatepiers with pyramidal heads, and surmounted by alternate tall and short vertical railings with arrowhead finials. No 3 now has UPVC windows replacing original wooden casements.

The interior was not inspected at the time of the survey (June/July 2003).
