Description

Glanyrafon Cottages is a row of 11 single-fronted, two-storey cottages built of rubble stone, featuring barge boards and a slate roof with 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 cottages 1, 3, and 7. The other cottages have upper-storey windows positioned beneath the eaves, and all windows are fitted with stone sills. Each cottage has its window located to the left of the doorway. Between cottages 6 and 7, there is a passage at lower storey level, featuring segmental stone arches at both the front and rear walls, which leads to a passage at the back. On the right side of the passage, cottages 7 to 11 have a higher roof line. Cottages 11 and 12 have a slightly deeper plan and feature pairs of diagonal stacks. The cottages have rear doors and windows that have been renewed in earlier openings.

Internally, the cottages consist of two rooms on the lower storey. They have now been combined into a single cottage but still retain two doorways with restored boarded doors. Cottage 1 has three-light casements and a fixed attic window, while cottage 2 features restored horizontal-sliding sashes.
