Cadw's description
Location
Small N facing terrace leading W off the junction with Market Place, close to the Parish Church.
History
Ty-mawr Terrace is an example of mid C19 housing; not shown on the 1841 Tithe Map. It may originally have been a pair of 3-window cottages with the present difference in the breadth of the frontages being the result of a later alteration.
Exterior
Painted roughcast stone front with slate roof. No 2, at the left end, is of 3 bays, extended by a further bay to the W. Two storeys with a mixture of horned and unhorned sash windows; the chimney stacks are rendered and that to the left hand gable end projects. The 3 left bays are not precisely symmetrical but have a central round-headed entrance with fanlight over a 6-panelled door; 20-pane sashes in segmental headed openings to the ground floor and 16-pane windows to the first floor directly under the eaves. The additional bay to the right, beyond an axial stack, has similar windows to both floors, and continues to the W as No 3.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with No 3 as one of a surviving pair of mid C19 town centre cottages.
