Cadw's description
Location
Below the level of the Road, one of a reverse-pair with No.6.
History
Built c1930.
Exterior
Roughcast render, plain tiled roof with axial and end wall stacks. Simple Arts and Crafts style, and probably the work of North and Padmore, architects, of Llanfairfechan. 2 storeys, with stepped asymmetrical gables facing the street. The central gable houses porch and staircase, the roof dipped down to the right to form the porch, which has shouldered archway aligned with the inner doorway. Narrow stair window at centre of gable. Wider gable slightly set back to the left houses the principal living room, and has 3-light, metal-framed, casement window on each floor. Narrower bay to right of entrance has similar 2-light casement window on each floor, the upper window in a catslide dormer which breaks the eaves line. Roofs throughout are carried forward on bold plain brackets, and there are slight, swept hood moulds over all windows.
Reason for designation
Included as a very good example of a small house of c1930, in the Arts and Crafts idiom which has especially associated with the progressive architecture and planning of the garden village movement. Forms a group with No.6.
