4. Terraced Row of 4 houses opposite Independent Chapel

This is a row of four terraced houses located opposite the Independent Chapel in Crugybar, built in 1867. The houses have stuccoed painted fronts designed to look like ashlar, with a slate roof and wooden soffits. The eaves are bracketed on the left side, and there are four ridge brick chimney stacks. Each cottage has a narrow two-bay front. The house named Llysycoed features four-paned horned sash windows, while Minerafon and Annelfa have 12-pane hornless sash windows. All three houses have boarded doors. The former Post Office has a three-bay front, with upper 9-pane hornless sashes, a 12-pane hornless sash on the ground floor left, and a wide shop window on the right with a raised cemented architrave and original wooden panelled shutters. The central door is a modified panelled design. There is a single bay store on the right that is slightly recessed but shares the same roofline, with planked doors on each storey. A datestone between Annelfa and the Post Office reads "Built 1867 T.D." The left gable end is made of rubble.

The rear of the houses is limewashed rubble, with a 20th-century door to Llysycoed, featuring a brick cambered head and a 12-pane hornless sash above. Minerafon has a planked door and 6-pane 2-light casements, with similar heads. Annelfa has a planked door, a 4-pane horned sash on the ground floor, and a 6-pane casement above, also with similar heads. There is a gabled rubble extension from around 1930 at the rear of the former Post Office, which has wide 6-pane sashes.

At the back, there is an alleyway lined with a range of 19th-century single-storey coal sheds made of rubble, topped with a corrugated iron roof and featuring planked doors, along with a 12-pane hornless sash window to the right. A brick chimney stack is located on the right gable, and there is a 20th-century garage attached to the left.

The interiors are small, with Annelfa being the most intact cottage, featuring a winding stick-baluster stair. The front parlour includes an Edwardian mantelpiece with a hob-grate and flanking glazed cupboards. The former Post Office has simple shop fittings, and there is a sack pulley in the roof of the store.
