Description

Llewyncelyn is a pair of 19th-century estate cottages that reflect a symmetrical design. The cottages are constructed from rubble stone laid in regular courses of uneven height, with dressed stone quoins, a stone plinth, and a slate roof. A central square chimney stack features a moulded cap, vertical panels on each face, and water tabling. The northwest front, facing the road, is one-and-a-half storeys high.

On the upper floor, there are two gabled dormers below the eaves, each with 2+2 pane casement windows. The dormers are supported by curved wooden brackets that corbel out at the verges and have stone sills that merge into a continuous string course below the eaves. The eaves themselves are also corbelled out on brackets that spring from the string course.

On the ground floor, there are two sets of 2+2+2+2 casements, each with skewback voussoired lintels, angled dripstones, and shallow stone sills. The verges at each gable end are similarly corbelled out. The northeast gable features a 2+2 pane casement with an angled dripstone in the upper gable and a blocked doorway with an inserted 4-pane horned sash window on the ground floor. The opposing southwest gable has a similar 2+2 pane window on the first floor, along with a six-panel entrance door and a small attached 20th-century conservatory on the ground floor.

At the rear, there is a 19th-century single-storey service wing with a slate roof. Originally, the cottages were two independent units with a central chimney stack, and entrance doorways in each end-gable provided access to single ground-floor rooms on each side. They have since been joined to form a small two-unit plan house. The ground floor rooms feature four-panel doors, and a straight staircase with winders rises at the west gable to the attic bedrooms.
