Description
Y Bont is a two-storey terrace of three cottages built in two periods. The right section dates to around 1800 and seems to have originally extended further to the right. It was raised and extended to the left and truncated to the right in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of whitened rubble and features a continuous medium-pitched slate roof with plain bargeboards on the southwest and northeast gables. There are end and two additional squat chimneys, all of which are rendered except for the right chimney.
The cottages have an irregular arrangement of doors and windows. The central cottage has an entrance with a single window to the right, while the flanking cottages each have central entrances and flanking windows. The doors are slightly recessed, featuring 19th-century boarded designs, and there are contemporary four-pane sash windows. The first floor has six narrower windows, with two per cottage.
Adjoining the earlier No 3 on the right is a reduced single-storey unit that was originally full-height but now has a lean-to corrugated iron roof. This unit features a recessed four-panel door with a small canted bay to the right, which has plain glazing and an iron roof. There is a 20th-century catslide extension to the right and a rear lean-to extension to No 1.
