1 Pensarn

1 and 2 Pensarn are a pair of mirrored, two-storey cottages built in the 19th century. They are roughcast and white-washed, topped with a hipped slate roof that features a central slate-hung ridge stack. The cottages have overhanging eaves and eyebrow dormers on the garden front. The windows are narrow horned sashes, mostly grouped together, and set beneath shallow segmental heads.

The entrance front, which faces the road, has a narrow single-storey porch wing at the center, with entrances on either side. The main range includes two 12-pane sashes flanking the porch wing, with narrow 6-pane lights on the outer sides. On the upper storey, each cottage has a window aligned towards the center, featuring a 2-light 12-pane sash positioned just below the eaves.

On the garden front facing west, each cottage has an original part-glazed boarded door on the outer side, sheltered by a flat-roofed canopy supported by moulded brackets. There is a wide tripartite window on the inner side of each cottage, consisting of a fixed 16-pane light flanked by 8-pane sashes. Above this is a tripartite sash window with a segmental head, located under an eyebrow dormer. The north and south ends of the cottages mirror each other in window arrangement. The north end features a pair of 4-pane sashes on the left and a similar single light on the right, all under segmental heads. The upper floor has a tripartite sash on the left and a single light on the right, both just below the eaves.

For No. 1, the entrance is on the side of the porch wing, with a half-glazed door to the right and a boarded door to the left that leads into an outbuilding. The interior has not been seen during the resurvey.
