172-3 Broadway

161-176 Broadway, Treforest

The houses are all 2-storey of rubble stone construction originally with slate roofs and stone ridge stacks. The windows and doors are all replaced, mostly in original openings.

An amalgamation of No 172, originally single-fronted, and No 173, originally double fronted and clearly of a later date as there is a slight heightening of the roof line. Both of the original doorways have been blocked and converted to windows, while the L-hand window of the original No 173 has been converted to a doorway inside an added porch with hipped roof. The lower storey openings retain stone segmental heads, while the upper L has a lintel below the eaves and windows upper centre and R are also below segmental heads. The roof is replaced with synthetic slates and a former stack between the 2 houses is rebuilt in brick.
