Description
Siop Fach, also known as the First Cottage, is a building constructed from whitewashed rubble stone and topped with a slate roof. It features a stone double ridge stack located between the first and second cottages, as well as a stone end stack on the second cottage. The building is situated on a slope, resulting in the first cottage being two-storey while the second is single-storey, with both roofs and windows aligned with the slope.
The first cottage, located on the left, has a ground floor door positioned to the left and one window on each floor to the right. The second cottage is single-storey and has a double front, featuring centrally located boarded doors and small 9-pane windows, with the top three windows designed to tilt. The openings on the left side are heavily stepped, while those on the right are nearly level.
