House, including forecourt walls and railings

Nos. 28 and 30 Merthyr Road is a house built from local sandstone rubble with red brick dressings, featuring a natural slate roof and a brick stack. The building has a rectangular double depth plan with entrances on the outside of the pair. The front elevations are two storeys high with a cellar, each consisting of two bays. Short flights of steps lead to pedimented wooden doorcases that have panelled pilasters, fielded panelled reveals, rectangular fanlights, and 6-panelled doors, some of which have fielded panels. The sash windows are arranged with 8 over 8 panes below and 6 over 6 panes above. The hipped roof of the pair has a shared brick stack at the centre.

There are two small forecourts separated by a red brick dividing wall, which is enclosed at the outer ends and along the street by brick walls with coping. The low and slender contemporary railings have uprights with peaked finials set diamond-wise. The wall to No. 30 is rendered. Each side of the dividing wall has a short flight of steps leading from the street to the forecourt.

The return elevation features a single small window on the first floor, while the rear elevation was not inspected. The interior was also not inspected during the resurvey.
