Description

Nos 2, 2a, and 4, known as Caerffair, are two-storey and attic houses dating from the 19th century. They are constructed of stucco with slate roofs and rendered stacks, featuring a five-window range. The original house had three windows but now has four, with two additional windows on the side. The ground floor is rusticated up to the first-floor sill course, while the first floor is rendered. The buildings have a dentilled cornice and a plain coped parapet. Nos 2 and 2a each have three dormers, while No 4 has two.

The windows are hornless 12-pane sashes set in moulded architraves. The upper windows have bases that step out, while the lower windows are more elaborate, featuring panelled piers, panelled heads, and cornices on console brackets. Nos 2 and 2a have a pair of doors, with the door to 2a added later; the other door is centrally aligned and has overlights with earlier 20th-century doors. A wide classical porch is supported by two fluted Ionic columns, with pilaster responds and an entablature featuring a modillion cornice. No 4 has one ground floor window to the left and a six-panel door to the right, set in a tall doorcase with panelled piers and an open segmental pediment.

No 4 has been restored to better match Nos 2 and 2a. In the 1963 listing description, plate glass windows were noted, and it was mentioned that there was no ground floor rustication except for the surviving angle quoins on the first floor.

The houses are situated on a raised rubble stone terrace with a curved southwest angle, and they are enclosed by fine cast-iron railings of mid-19th century design, featuring circles and diagonal spears. The railings curve around the south end wall, and there are two sets of iron gatepiers with matching gates.
