Description
12 Railway Terrace is part of a group with Moelfa and numbers 1-14 Railway Terrace. This terrace of fifteen cottages was constructed in brick under a slate roof, with brick ridge stacks. The cottages are two storeys high, each featuring a single window range, with a doorway to the right and a window to the left, and a stack also to the left. Architectural details include a dressed stone sill band to the upper storey, a moulded wooden eaves cornice, and a partly rendered brick plinth. Windows have cambered heads formed with gauged brickwork; the earliest surviving windows feature hornless 6-pane sashes. Doorways are round-arched with stone architraves, with some retaining panelled doors and plain fanlights. To the rear, each cottage has a lower, narrow, gabled wing offset to the left. The earliest features include 6-pane sashes under segmental brick arches, though many have since been altered. Some cottages have flat-roofed additions between the wings, particularly towards the southern end of the terrace. Number 12 retains a panelled door, and the upper sash of one window has lost some of its glazing bars. The interior was not inspected.
