Description
The listing describes a pair of semi-detached villas. They were built with rough-dressed, snecked limestone construction, featuring yellow sandstone dressings and quoins, and have battered plinths and plain stringcourses. The buildings are characterised by plain stone chimneys with slanted capping stones, hipped slate roofs with tiled ridges, and deep eaves and verges.
Each villa is L-shaped, with its entrance positioned on a return away from the street. A storeyed, semi-octagonal bay projects from the corner, corbelled out from the plinth. The recessed entrance is within a central bay, alongside an angled return with a ground-floor window. Above this window is a triangular wooden oriel, supported by cusped braces and sheltered by an extension of the roof. A small window sits above the entrance itself. The windows are plain with tilting casement sections, and the original entrances have 4-panel part-glazed doors.
The front elevation of each villa is symmetrical, featuring paired windows centrally and turret-like corner bays. First-floor windows in the central bays rise above the eaves, with higher hipped roofs. The villa situated downhill (Bryn Orme) incorporates an additional 3-light, flat-roofed dormer window, designed to provide views across the Vale of Clwyd.
Both units remain largely unaltered, with the exception of Y Bryn, which has a modern, large picture window located to the left of the entrance bay. Each villa has a battered terrace with a low rail, accessed by stepped paving leading up from the street. The pair forms a group of two buildings.
