Elwy Cottage

Elwy Cottage is a building constructed from local rubble, featuring a shallow-pitched, hipped slate roof with wide, oversailing eaves and a tiled ridge. It has a central chimney topped with slate and a modern brick addition. The facade is symmetrical with three bays and a raised ground floor. The central entrance is pointed-arched and accessed by a flight of five modern slate and brick steps, with rough-dressed voussoirs. The entrance features four-panel Victorian double doors with later Art Nouveau-style upper glazed panels. The original pointed-arched windows on both floors have unhorned, slightly-recessed 12-pane sashes. The east side has four-pane sliding sashes with flat slatestone lintels on both floors, while the west side has similar windows on the first floor and two modern single-storey extensions on the ground floor.

At the rear, there is a later 19th-century storeyed and gabled extension with a squat end chimney made of engineering bricks. This extension includes a brick-cambered entrance on the left with a modern porch and a boarded stable door. On the right, there are four-pane Victorian sashes on both floors, also featuring brick cambered arches.

The interior is plain and largely modernized, with a simple late 19th-century stick baluster staircase.
