Description

Bro Dawel is a pair of houses located at the southwest end, separate from the main U-shaped group. They are notable for their three-sided front elevation, a design first seen a few years earlier in the garden cities created by Sir Raymond Unwin, such as Letchworth and Hampstead. The two-storey elevation is symmetrical, featuring a rendered exterior with a steep slate roof, wide eaves, and red brick chimney stacks. The windows include small pane top-hung casements of various widths, with a four-light window in the central corner section above bay windows that have tall lean-to roofs. On either side of the bay windows are gabled porches with side doors; above these porches are single-light windows, and there are three-light windows at the extreme ends. The rear mostly has two-light windows, along with a boarded door at the corner and a half-glazed door leading to Bro Dawel. There is also a gabled outhouse associated with Iscoed.

Local climate

Bro Dawel sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,280 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 94% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 91% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 38 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 20 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
