Surgery

Terrace of houses, Llansannan.

Late C18 or early C19 terrace of cottages, possibly built for quarrymen, located in the heart of the village of Llansannan. The houses along the range have differing masonry construction, and many retain the early fenestration to front and rear. All the houses along the terrace, with the sole exeption of the Surgery, have gardens to the front; low rubble walls with bevelled capping, surmounted by railings, paired and joined (with rounded head) alternating with vertical rails with fleur de lys finials. The gates have alternate tall and short vertical rails with fleur de lys finials, plain foot and lock stiles, with shaped wrought iron swirls over the top rail. Gateposts are square rubble piers with pyramidal caps. To the front of the Surgery is a paved area with a railed enclosure for the First World War memorial. To the rear of the range the cottages have a number of unremarkable modern lean-to and flat-roofed additions.

Mid terraced house; built of local rubble masonry laid roughly to courses. Three window range with entrance through central lean-to porch. Windows are 6-pane horned sashes; ground floor with rough stone lintels, first floor directly under the eaves. Large stone and brick ridge chimneys to either end of house, that to left (W) end partly rendered. The porch is an addition, built of similar materials to the main house. Directly in front of the porch is a First World War memorial set within a small railed enclosure; the surgery does not retain the small wall and railed gardens of the other houses along the terrace.
