14 Merthyr Road

14 Merthyr Road is part of a two-storey terrace consisting of 10 cottages that open directly onto the pavement. The cottages are constructed from narrow coursed rubble, featuring stone voussoirs around the door and window openings, and regular dressed stone quoins. The sides are rendered, and the roof is covered with Welsh slate, topped by narrow red brick ridge corniced stacks, each with three pots.

All units, except for number 14, which is the central left unit, have a front elevation with a single window range and a door, with a ground floor layout consisting of two rooms positioned one behind the other. Number 14 has a three-window range and a central door, with a central staircase layout. The original small-pane sash windows have mostly been replaced with two-light casements on the first floor and transomed casements on the ground floor, some featuring rendered surrounds and others with slightly cambered heads; 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 some stone flagged floors and slabs from former pantries, and the ground floor ceiling joists are of thin scantling, with some exposed.
