8 Terfyn Cottages

One of a group of 8 similar cottages belonging to the Kinmel Manor Estate and attributed to the architect W E Nesfield in c1868 (at this period Nesfield was working at Kinmel Park.). Axe-dressed uncoursed local limestone with stone lintels and other dressed stone to openings. Slate roofs in equal courses with tile ridges, ridge finials, and metal-covered hips; half-hipped gables. Brick chimneys.

The cottages are planned as semi-detached pairs, of 1½ storeys, with the main range of each pair parallel to the road and paired forward wings centrally. In the angle of the main range and the forward wing is the entrance lobby, of one storey under a single-hipped roof. The central chimney penetrates the ridge and is shared by the 2 cottages. Each cottage has in addition a kitchen chimney at the end of the range to the rear, brick on a stone plinth. In the forward wing each cottage has a 3-light single window above and 2 2-light windows below. The porch has a plain door to front and a 3-light window to the side. Paired 2-light windows to lower storey beyond porch. In side elevation a 3-light window above and a single light window below.

At rear the cottage pairs each have a shared central gabled extension, probably original, and other extensions of later date including catslide roofs.
