Description

Gwel-y-Werydd is a pair of semi-detached houses built in a simple classical style, dating from the 19th century. They are two stories high with three-window roughcast fronts that have undergone decorative alterations in the later 19th century. The buildings feature end pilaster strips, cill bands, and a plinth, topped with slate roofs and three cement render chimney stacks.

No. 3 has 12-pane sash windows, while No. 4 has two-light sash windows. The ground floor of No. 3 includes a later rectangular window with two narrow casements flanking a fixed glazed center, all framed with lugged architraves. No. 4 features keystones above its windows. The porch of No. 3 has an asymmetrical architrave and a recessed six-panel door with a fanlight above. In front, there is a low flood wall with a ramped walkway to the right and a higher protection wall beneath the doorway. No. 4 has a later pitched roof projecting porch with two-light sash windows and a half-glazed door, along with roughcast end walls.
