3. 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 stone. They feature a slate roof with wooden soffits and bracketed eaves on the left side, along with four brick chimney stacks. Each cottage has a narrow two-bay front. The house named Llysycoed has four-paned horned sash windows, while Minerafon and Annelfa have 12-pane hornless sash windows. All three cottages have boarded doors. The former Post Office has a three-bay front, with upper 9-pane hornless sashes and a 12-pane hornless sash on the ground floor to the left. There is a wide shop window on the right with a raised cemented architrave and original wooden panelled shutters, along with a central modified panelled door. To the right, there is a single-bay store 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. Llysycoed has a 20th-century door with a brick cambered head, and a 12-pane hornless sash window above it. Minerafon features a planked door and 6-pane two-light casements, with similar heads. Annelfa has a planked door, a 4-pane horned sash window on the ground floor, and a 6-pane casement above it, 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 rubble-built coal sheds, 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 of the cottages are small. Annelfa is the most intact, featuring a winding stick-baluster staircase, a front parlour with an Edwardian mantelpiece and hob-grate, and flanking glazed cupboards. The former Post Office has simple shop fittings and a sack pulley on the roof of the store.
