Description
This is a row of five terraced buildings, Pensarn, Glan-Awen, Three Rivers, Clydfan, and Tegfan, constructed of coursed rubble under a shared slate roof. Five plain end and central chimneys define the individual units.
Clydfan and Tegfan, at the right-hand side of the terrace, are stuccoed and form a mirrored pair of one-window units, featuring paired entrances in the centre and a blind window above. They have modern boarded doors and later 19th-century sash windows to both floors, with those on the first floor positioned under the eaves. These buildings retain their character well. Three Rivers was originally two dwellings and now has a modern central entrance with enlarged modern flanking windows, the upper portions featuring intersecting wooden tracery. The first floor has four modern windows set within a rendered facade. A large modern extension is at the rear, and a distinctive masonry break is visible between this extension and Glan-Awen. Glan-Awen has a central entrance with a modern door, flanked by modern windows to both floors, all within original openings. The ground-floor windows retain slate lintels with returned slate labels. Pensarn, on the left-hand side of the group, has a roughcast finish and a large recess on the ground floor, indicating the former presence of a shopfront. This recess contains a modern glazed door and an adjacent window. The first floor retains an original 16-pane recessed 19th-century sash window. A slightly set-back lean-to addition is attached to the left.
