Description
10 Merthyr Road is a two-storey terrace of 10 cottages that open directly onto the pavement. The cottages are constructed of narrow coursed rubble, featuring stone voussoirs above the door and window openings, with regular dressed stone quoins and rendered sides. The roof is made of Welsh slate and has narrow red brick ridge corniced stacks, each topped with three pots.
All units, except for number 14, which is the center left cottage, have a single window range and a door on the front elevation, with a ground floor layout consisting of two rooms arranged one behind the other. Number 14 has a three-window range and a central door, with a central staircase. The original windows were likely small-pane sash windows, but most have been replaced with two-light casements on the first floor and transomed casements on the ground floor. Some of these windows have rendered surrounds, while others feature slightly cambered heads, and the doors have also been replaced. The cottages are set behind a low masonry revetment that slopes down to the right.
Originally, staircases rose beside the front room fireplace in most units (except for the central staircase in number 14), with some staircases still retained. There are also some stone flagged floors and slabs from former pantries, and the ground floor ceiling joists are of thin scantling, with some exposed.
