Description

3 Railway Terrace is part of a group of cottages known as Moelfa and 1-14 Railway Terrace. This terrace consists of 15 cottages built from brick and topped with a slate roof, featuring brick ridge stacks. Each cottage is two stories high, with a single window on the front. The door is located to the right, with a window to the left and the stack also positioned to the left. Notable architectural details include a dressed stone sill band on the upper storey, a moulded wooden eaves cornice, and a partly rendered brick plinth. The windows have cambered heads made of gauged brickwork, with the earliest surviving windows being hornless 6-pane sashes. The doorways are round-arched and feature stone architraves, with some retaining panelled doors and plain fanlights. At the rear, each cottage has a lower narrow gabled wing offset to the left. The earliest windows at the back are 6-pane sashes under segmental heads, although many have been altered. Some cottages also have flat-roofed additions between the wings, particularly towards the southern end of the terrace. Number 3 features a 20th-century glazed door. The interior has not been seen.
