8 Pwll-y-Min Crescent

Nos 1-10 Pwll-y-Min Crescent

Terraced housing. Part of a crescent-plan terrace of 10 houses in an unusual style combining elements of Moorish, Arts and Crafts, and proto-Modernist flat roofs. Painted render; flat roofs with coping. Multipane casement windows under hoodmoulds; boarded doors with central glazed quarried light. Two storeys and tower room. Units are similar but not identical throughout: generally each has a roughly central doorway with mosaic work in lunette, flanked by small hall windows; 2-light casement window above. On one side of the entrance is an advanced block with 2-storey splayed bay window and on other side a stepped back square turret with flat roof which rises above the roof line; single window to each storey of turret and doorway to flat roof; set back from turret a further narrow bay linking separate properties; projecting in front of the turret and from the entrance bay is a single storey flat roofed block, again linking properties. Rear of house has plain 3-window elevation. Swept and stepped parapets (though not matching) to Nos.3 & 4 and 5 & 6, forming the centre of the terrace. The overall design was further enhanced by a curved yew hedge with individual boarded gates with full width hinges.

No 8 is painted differently but retains windows, altered door.
