History
Earlier C19 cottage, once part of the Cwmcynfelin estate, part of a row of three lofted cottages, but substantially larger than Nos 3 or 4. Old photographs show No 1, demolished for road-widening, adjoined to E. The row is shown on the Tithe map of 1847, but not on the earlier O.S. map 1823.

S front has boarded door in centre, with a small 2-light casement window on each side. 2 small gabled eaves dormer windows above, with C20 casements. E end has front wall set-back for side of chimney, and then truncated remains of chimney of the demolished No 1 abuts to E.
Reason for designation
An earlier C19 vernacular cottage, retaining early character in plan, scale and disposition of features, and forming part of a group with the cottage pair to left, Nos 3 and 4.
