Description

No 1 Sarn-y-bryn-caled Cottages is one of a pair of small cottages built around 1830 by the Powis Estate for agricultural workers. Constructed from local roughly coursed stone, the cottages feature a graded slate roof and a brick axial stack. They are two storeys high and consist of two units with a single rear wing. Each cottage has a central entrance, and simple timber porches, which are later additions, interrupt the hood-mould over the ledged doorway. The flaking windows on both floors are 2-light iron small-paned casements, with drop-ended hood moulds on the ground floor and timber lintels beneath the eaves above. This pair of cottages is part of a group that exemplifies a small estate settlement, retaining much of its original character.
