Tre-Elidyr

Nos. 8 and 9 Tre-Elidyr Built of local red sandstone random rubble with dressed quoins and window surrounds, stone slate roofs. Paired houses in a C17 style Arts-and-Crafts manner, both houses are canted, thus giving a butterfly plan to the pair. Single storey and attic. The main range is shared between the houses with the service wings canted away, thus with the convex side of the pair to the road and the concave side to the garden and green. The front door is in the main range, with the service entrance in the canted wings which are shorter than the main range. The main range has the plank door with a large gabled half dormer with 3-light casement above, the canted wing has a massive and tall stone external stack which is flanked by 2-light casements and with another small window in the floor above. The wings have single storey weatherboarded extensions which house the service entrance and the WC and coal store. Steeply pitched roof with a shared ridge stack at the join between the houses. The concave garden elevation has a 3-light window below and dormer above as before, plank door with odd stone gabled porch. The canted wing has two 2-light windows below and a small 2-light dormer above.

The interior is very carefully finished and very little altered. All the joinery was made by the estate from estate timber. Plank doors, all with hand wrought hinges and latches, some doors removed but in store. Floorboards, stairs and planning all complete and unaltered. C17 type roof structure with upper cruck/principal trusses with collars and ties.
