No 8 and front railings

No 8 is a semi-detached house, paired with No 9, built in the late Victorian Queen Anne style. The house is rendered and features a timber 2-storey veranda, extensive red tile-hanging, and deep eaved slate roofs with a central ridge stack. It has two storeys and an attic, with a 4-window range across the pair. The front is framed by large 3-storey canted bays topped with canted hipped roofs. The recessed center has paired attic gables with overhanging bargeboards, terracotta finials, and tile-hung gables above two 3-light windows, with panelled piers between the lights.

Below, there is a lean-to tiled roof over the 2-storey veranda, which has four bays with turned balusters and timber posts. The first-floor posts support brackets that create shouldered-headed openings, while the ground-floor posts have curved brackets that form arched openings with pierced spandrels. The windows are mostly sashes, with small panes in the top sash only. The center gables feature narrow triple sashes, and both the first and ground floors have half-glazed doors with side and top lights. The canted bays have a dentilled eaves cornice, fish-scale tiling between the floors, red brick bases, and three large sash windows on each floor, with narrow outer side lights and panelled piers in between.

The side walls are rendered and were formerly equipped with brick stacks, and there are doors in the side walls. The forecourt has railings that match others in Penllwyn Park, featuring rock-faced rubble walls with stone coping and low rails that have two horizontal bars. The standards have finials and curving brackets under the upper bar, with additional curving ironwork under the lower bar, topped with a finial.
