History

Pair of Llanarth estate cottages, probably c1890.

Exterior

Pair of cottages in simple picturesque idiom. Random rubble of informal polychrome character, with rusticated quoins and Welsh slate roofs. Axial brick stack (rebuilt); decorated barge-boards at front and side gables. A symmetrical pair, with advanced gables at centre, and porches in angle of gable and main range to either side. Porches both have hipped stone tiled roofs, and are timber boarded - vertically to left (no 1), horizontally to right (no 2). Small windows over each porch. Central gables have canted bay windows with stone tiled roofs to ground floor, and 2-light casement windows above with steep arched heads with voussoirs. Windows all have transoms and margin-lights, giving a distinctive decorative effect. Similar windows with voussoirs to arched heads in gable ends. Simpler detail to rear, where there are also later additions.

Interior

Not inspected.
