Description
This is a pair of buildings forming part of a group of four, located on Graig-yr-Helfa Road in Glyntaff, Pontypridd. The buildings consist of a pair of three-stage round towers, which flank wrought iron gates, with two-storey wings attached to them. The walls are rendered and painted white. The towers and the right-hand wing have slate roofs, while the left-hand wing has replacement tile roofs; all roofs feature wide boarded eaves. Each tower has eaves stacks on its outer sides, and each wing has two ridge stacks. The towers have three narrow windows with triangular heads in their lower and middle stages, and two windows in their upper stage. The rear wings incorporate both single-fronted and double-fronted cottages. Lower projections have been added to both ends of the building and to the rear. The interiors have been modernised.
