Description

8 Glanyrafon Cottages is a row of 11 single-fronted, 2-storey cottages constructed from rubble stone. They feature barge boards, a slate roof, and diagonally set stone ridge stacks. Cottages numbered 1, 3, and 7 include attic windows in their gables. The openings have stone lintels with drip stones on the lower storey, and in the upper storey and attic of Nos 1, 3, and 7, while the other cottages have upper-storey windows positioned beneath the eaves. All windows have stone sills, and in each cottage, the window is located on the left side of the doorway. There is a passage between Nos 6 and 7 at lower storey level, featuring segmental stone arches on the front and rear walls, which leads to a passage at the back. On the right side of the passage, Nos 7-11 have a higher roof line. Cottages 11 and 12 have a slightly deeper plan and include pairs of diagonal stacks. The houses have rear doors and windows that have been renewed in earlier openings.

Internally, each cottage consists of 2 rooms on the lower storey, retaining the original boarded door, with a 3-light casement window to the left and a restored horizontal-sliding sash window in the upper storey.
