Cadw's description

A straight terrace of four two-storey cottages, located on the SE side of the triangular green at the centre of Glasbury village.

No.5 terminating the terrace at the SW end is a later C19 addition in red brick, of 2 bays, but continuing the slate roof slightly beyond the gable stack. Six-paned sashes and painted lintels. Central 4-panelled door within glazed lean-to porch. Gable end Tyrolean rendered.

Included as a row of largely well-preserved C19 cottages providing an essential element of the group value within the conservation area of Glasbury.
