Description

8 Railway Terrace is part of a group of cottages known as Moelfa and 1-14 Railway Terrace. This terrace consists of 15 cottages built of brick, topped with a slate roof and featuring brick ridge stacks. The cottages are two stories high, each with a single window range, a doorway on the right, and a window on the left, with the stack also positioned to the left. 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 with stone architraves, and some retain panelled doors and plain fanlights. At the rear, each cottage has a lower narrow gabled wing offset to the left. The earliest windows are 6-pane sashes under segmental heads, although many have been altered. Some cottages feature flat-roofed additions between the wings, particularly towards the southern end of the terrace.

No 8 has a half-glazed late 20th-century door, with an 8-over-12-pane sash window to the left and a 16-pane sash window on the upper storey. The interior has not been seen.
