No1 Limekiln Cottages

No. 1 Limekiln Cottages, located in Belan, Welshpool, are part of a group of four cottages associated with the Belan lime-kilns that were present by 1840. However, these cottages were replaced by the current structures built by the Powis Estate sometime after 1859.

The exterior features brick side walls and a rear, with the sides painted to resemble timber framing. The front wall is also painted in imitation of framing, appearing to be boards placed over a frame, and includes a series of quatrefoil panels. The cottages have a slate roof with a brick axial stack. Each cottage is symmetrically planned, featuring an outer doorway with a battened plank door and a ground floor window that has two lights with iron mullions and transoms, containing small panes. Above, there is a small gabled dormer with a two-light small paned iron casement window. No. 1 has a single-storey outbuilding attached to the left.

These cottages are a notable example of picturesque vernacular architecture from the late 19th century and represent excellent estate housing, contributing to the character of the group of structures at Belan Locks.
