26 Merthyr Road

26 Merthyr Road is part of a row of three houses, numbered 22 to 26, built with very roughly coursed and squared sandstone rubble and red brick dressings. The houses have a natural slate roof with red brick stacks. This two-storey double depth row features No. 24, the centre house, which projects slightly forward and has a wide plain gable above the two upper windows. The entrance to No. 24 is located under this gable, while the entrances to the end houses, Nos. 22 and 26, are found in the return elevations.

Each house has two window bays, with the end houses displaying blind walling in the outer bays on the ground floor. The ground floor windows have slightly cambered heads. The centre house features a ground floor sash window with 8 over 8 panes on the left and a gabled porch with trellised sides and a 6-panelled door, the top two panels of which are glazed, on the right. The end houses each have a tripartite sash window with 6 over 6 panes, flanked by 3 over 3 panes in the inner bays. On the first floor, there are six over six pane sash windows in segmental headed openings. The houses have a plain low pitch roof with a shred stack on each party wall. Each return elevation includes a narrow window on the first floor and a modern gabled porch on the ground floor leading to a 6-panelled door; No. 26 features a rectangular fanlight with tracery.

The rear elevation has not been inspected, and the interior was not inspected during the resurvey.
