Fro Awel

Fro Awel is a 1.5-storey cottage with three windows, constructed from rubble masonry. It features a steeply pitched new slate roof with plain eaves and close verges, along with square stone stacks, the smaller one located to the left, and water tabling. The cottage has three hipped stone dormers with rubble cheeks and shallow upper sashes on the nine-pane windows. The doorway is offset to the left of centre, topped with a stone lintel and featuring a 19th-century half-glazed door. To the left of the door is a shallow upper sash window with nine panes, while to the right is a 16-pane fixed light window, followed by a shallow upper sash window with twelve panes. There is a small rectangular buttery window at the extreme right, which was formerly fitted with lead cames but now has a single pane. A fire window is located on the right end elevation, and a stair window at the rear is a cross window that was formerly leaded.

Inside, the cottage has stop-chamfered transverse ceiling beams and plain joists. There is a stop-chamfered bressumer over the fireplace, with a stone basin in the buttery to the right of the fireplace. The staircase is contemporary and L-shaped, featuring square newels, turned balusters, and splat balusters on the landing. The roof is a three-bay design with collared through purlin trusses.

At the rear, there is a cross wing made of rubble masonry with a new slate roof. This section also has through purlin collar and tie beam trusses and consists of three bays, having been formerly lofted. There is a re-used door to the extreme right, which is an 18th-century door with six fielded panels. In the 19th century, the building was used as a candle factory for the Bontddu goldmines.
