Description

The Pen-y-bont Brick and Tile Company Office is a single-storey building constructed from locally produced hard red brick, featuring red roof tiling and decorative crestings. The structure has a distinctive round corner tower topped with a conical roof and a clayware finial. The paired windows are adorned with orange terracotta ogee-heads set within a moulded arch, complemented by terracotta sills. A frieze of moulded terracotta rinceau scroll encircles the tower just below the eaves, while the end window boasts a protruding sill.

Inside, there is an arched entrance leading to the hallway, which features a green glazed tile dado. To the right, a reception window mirrors the ogee head design of the external windows. The floor is decorated with a coloured mosaic.
