Description

13 Railway Terrace is part of a group that includes Moelfa and 1-14 Railway Terrace. This is a terrace of 15 cottages built from brick and topped with a slate roof featuring brick ridge stacks. The cottages are two stories high, each with a single window range, a doorway to the right, and a window to the left, with the stack also positioned to the left. Architectural details include a dressed stone sill band at 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 in this section are 6-pane sashes under segmental heads, although many have been altered. Some cottages have flat-roofed additions between the wings, especially towards the southern end of the terrace.

No 13 features a 20th-century panelled door with an upper round-arched light, and the sashes have lost their glazing bars. The interior has not been seen.
