No4 Limekiln Cottages

No. 4 Limekiln Cottages is part of a group of four cottages located in Belan, Welshpool, associated with the Belan lime-kilns. These cottages were built sometime after 1859, replacing earlier structures that existed by 1840, and were constructed by the Powis Estate.

The exterior features brick side walls and a rear, with the sides painted to resemble timber framing. The front wall also imitates framing, appearing to be painted onto boards over a frame, and displays a series of quatrefoil panels. The cottages have slate roofs with a brick axial stack. Each cottage is symmetrically planned, featuring an outer doorway with a battened plank door, and a ground floor window with two lights, made of iron with mullions and transoms, containing small panes. Above, there is a small gabled dormer with a two-light iron casement window, also with small panes. No. 4 has a single-storey outbuilding attached to its left side.

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