Description
Gwel-y-Don comprises three buildings with paired, two-storey simple classical frontages, sharing a continuous hipped slate roof and wide boarded eaves. The buildings have rendered fronts, with roughcast to numbers 9 and 11, pebbledash to number 10, and rusticated quoins to number 10 alongside pilaster strips to number 11. The frontages are three windows wide at numbers 9 and 10, and two windows wide at number 11. First-floor windows are 12-pane sash windows with lintels to number 9, and lugged architraves incorporating ornamental keystones to numbers 10 and 11. Ground-floor windows are also 12-pane sash windows, similarly detailed. The entrances are semi-circular arched, with lugged architraves to number 10; number 9 has a 6-panel door with a 5-pane fanlight, number 10 has a later door and an Art Nouveau fanlight, and number 11 has a 4-panel door with a 5-pane fanlight. Low garden walls are present at each property, built of rubble at number 9, brick at number 10, and rendered at number 11, with rubble gate piers to number 9 and brick piers to number 10. A boarded door provides access to a side passage to the right.
