Description
Talafon and Meirionfa are two cottages located on Stryd Gwynant, built in rubble construction and standing two storeys tall under a continuous modern slate roof with plain end chimneys. Each cottage features a central entrance with modern doors and windows on both floors. The ground-floor windows have returned slatestone labels and slate lintels. The windows of Meirionfa on the left are designed to resemble horned 16-pane sashes, while the windows of Talafon are made of aluminium in hardwood frames. Attached to Talafon is a modern storeyed addition that includes a garage on the ground floor, featuring a rough-cast gable end with a modern window. These cottages are part of a group of two.
