History
1880s and in the style of J.L. Pearson, Glanusk Estate architect, who built church hall at Tretower (1887-8) in similar materials and Fro Cottage, Llangattock, in similar style.
Interior
Small entrance hall has open-well stair with square chamfered newels and balusters. Two main rooms in the lower storey, 3 bedrooms in the upper storey. Plain panelled pine doors throughout. In the upper storey are stone fireplaces with simple stop-chamfer surrounds.
Reason for designation
Pair of distinctive cottages characteristic of Pearson's work at Glanusk, and part of a strong group of estate buildings at Pont-y-bryn-hurt.
