Description
Cynnog Cottage, located at No 8 Church Row, is an end terrace cottage dating from the 19th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a slate roof with scalloped eaves boards. The left end has a rendered chimney. The cottage is two storeys high and is offset to the right, with no openings in the left bay. There are two small windows under the eaves; the central one has a timber mullion, while the right window is a 4-pane design. Both windows are chamfered and have stone sills.
On the ground floor, there is a window to the right that has a hoodmould, indicating it may have originally been part of a wider window, possibly a pair of windows like those found on Nos 1-2. This window features a label at the right end only, above a two-light mullion-and-transom window with a stone sill and deep chamfered sides. The centre of the ground floor, slightly right of the upper window, has a former coach entry with tooled sandstone voussoirs forming a broad Tudor arch. This entry has been later infilled with a pair of casement windows and a square-headed board door, all in white-painted rubble stone. The rear of the cottage has 20th-century windows.
The interior has not been inspected.
