Description

Cottage Row, also known as Rhyderonnen, is a fine early 19th-century terrace that includes an inn, a post office, two cottages, and a small stable. The inn is slightly older than the post office, as indicated by the visible joints between the two buildings. The terrace is two stories high and constructed from rubble with a colourwashed finish. It features a slate roof and rubble stacks with coursed stone tabling and drips.

The inn has a three-window front that is offset, with Victorian tall narrow horned sash windows (three panes over two) and vertical glazing bars. The windows have cambered heads made of stone voussoirs and stone sills. The central door is boarded and has a similar cambered head. To the right, there is a later lean-to extension with a boarded door and a six-pane steel window above. The return elevation of the inn has a sash window matching the front, with brick reveals and head.

To the left of the inn, the terrace continues with a seven-window range, featuring round-arched heads for the ground floor openings, stone voussoirs, and blank tympana. The post office has a ground floor window with wooden shutters and a four-pane horned sash. The cottages have ground floor windows that are three over two pane sashes (horned) and boarded doors with steps. The upper windows have cambered heads, stone voussoirs, and some are alternately blind. The first floor of the shop retains an original 12-pane hornless sash, while the rest are Victorian sashes. All windows have stone sills, and there is a G.R post box towards the left end.

At the left end of the terrace, there is a lower two-storey hayloft and stable. The rear is made of rubble and has appropriate recent lean-tos constructed from rubble and corrugated iron. The inn features a tiny ground floor casement window. The post office has a raised doorway with wooden steps, a boarded door, and a stone voussoired cambered head. It also has four-pane casements on both floors, with the upper window having a head like a door and a stone lintel above the other.

Across the lane, there are low whitewashed rubble walls with a mounting block and gardens behind. In the southeast corner of the garden, there is a whitewashed double toilet with a single-slope corrugated roof, which belonged to the former schoolroom (village hall) opposite. The long fore-walls of this structure were used to divide the sexes. There is also a single toilet to the south, similarly built with a slate roof.
