Description

Cobbler's Cottage, located at No. 2 Brynhyfryd, is the right half of a mirrored pair of houses built in the 19th century. The front of the house features painted render with one window bay and an inner doorway. It has brick dentiled eaves and a slate roof, although No. 1 has tarred slates. The end-wall stacks are made of old red brick, with the stack for No. 2 built up in modern brick and shared with the adjacent house, Cartref. The building has two storeys and an attic, with a small gabled dormer that includes bargeboards and an iron casement pair window. There is also a long first-floor iron cross-window with small panes set back from the wall face.

On the ground floor, No. 1 has a 20th-century window designed in an old style, featuring four panes with one opening to the center, and a half-glazed door to the right. No. 2 has a slightly lower head on its half-glazed door, which is immediately next to a two-light later 19th-century shop window with two plate glass panes in a casing of piers, fascia, and cornice. Both houses share a broad central rear gabled wing that has an old red brick chimney, two small casements in the attic, and two cross-windows with brick cambered heads and iron opening lights on both the first and ground floors. The rear wall of No. 2, adjoining the wing, features a cambered-headed door within a 20th-century rear extension. The south gable of No. 1 has a small leaded window in the attic and a larger leaded fixed light with a cambered brick head below.

The interiors of both houses are similar, with the ground floor front room showcasing an exposed east-west beam and unchamfered joists. There is a beam over the partition between the houses and an end-wall fireplace with a timber lintel. A small rear room contains a corner fireplace and a two-panel door. There is a cellar located under the back wing. The enclosed narrow stair features a landing flanked on each side by a short length of railing with square balusters and a thin rail. A collar-truss partition separates the two houses, and there is a timber-framed partition leading to the rear wing. Notably, No. 2 has an iron column within its shop window.
