Description
Min y Nant is a pair of mirrored 2-window, 2-storey cottages with basements, known as Min y Nant on the left and Glandwr on the right. They are built from random stone with quoins and have slate hung fronts under a slate roof featuring a shared brick ridge stack and cusped barge boards on the gable ends. The entrances are slightly raised above the road level. The openings have segmental heads, and the windows are mainly small-pane wooden casements. Each cottage has a panelled door with an overlight on the outer side and a 3-light casement window towards the centre. On the first floor, each cottage has a similar 3-light casement aligned towards the centre, along with a 2-light casement with a fan-light on the outer side. The rear of each cottage features a 3-light small-pane wooden casement under a segmental stone head on the upper storey, while the ground floor is not visible.
In front of the cottages, there are forecourt walls made of random stone with saddle-back brick copings, topped with narrow iron railings that have arched tops. These retaining walls enclose small gardens, and stone steps lead up to the entrances.
Min y Nant has a 4-pane overlight above the front door, and no basement openings were observed. The rear includes a stairlight on the far right. Adjoining the north gable end is a very short linking range to the Wesleyan chapel, which is weather-boarded and has a planked door at the front.
The interior was not seen during the resurvey.
