Description
Craigwen is a two-storey house located at the southwest corner, positioned at right angles to the entrance of the main U-shaped group of houses. It is accessed from the garden village road, while Y Gorlan is entered from the main road.
The front of Craigwen features a rendered finish with two sets of two windows, and is distinguished by its advanced position and twin gables. The house has a slate roof with wide boarded eaves that are slightly swept, and dark brick chimney stacks. The top-opening small pane casements are original and are accompanied by shallow hoods. The windows consist of three and four lights, with splayed ground floor bays at either end. Round arched entries lead to the gable ends with doors set in splayed recesses; Craigwen retains an original small pane window above. Y Gorlan has a lean-to at the rear, while Craigwen features a gabled cross range that retains original windows on the first floor. The roof is dog-legged on either side of this section and includes small pane glazed flat roof dormers. Additionally, Craigwen has a lean-to rear porch.
