Description

Penrhyn is a semi-detached house, paired with No 12, built in the late Victorian Queen Anne style. The exterior features painted stucco with red tile-hanging and deep-eaved slate roofs. There is a brick stack located to the left of the center. The building stands three storeys tall and has a three-window range for the pair. The front is characterized by three gables with bargeboards and terracotta finials, and the tile-hung gables sit above a jettied second floor that extends over three two-storey bays, supported by timber brackets on each side.

On the second floor, there are small-paned triple windows on the wall face, with the outer windows featuring a broad central light with an arch and radiating bar tracery within a square head. The center windows are plain square-headed sashes. A moulded cornice runs above the three canted bays, which have tiling between the floors, red brick below, and windows with small-pane glazing in the top sashes only. The windows are arranged in a 1-2-1-light pattern, and the first-floor sashes have a cambered head on each upper sash. The side walls are rendered, with red brick remnants of truncated side wall stacks.

There is a side wall entry to No 12, while No 13 features a one-window stuccoed link range to No 14, which is presumably an earlier 20th-century addition. This link has a six-panel door with a leaded overlight, a first-floor triple mullion and transom window, and a triple casement under the eaves.

The forecourt is enclosed by railings that match those found in Penllwyn Park. These consist of rock-faced rubble walls with stone coping and low rails featuring two horizontal bars. The standards have finials and curving brackets under the upper bar, with additional curving ironwork beneath the lower bar, topped with a finial.
