Cadw's description
Location
On the N bridgehead of the Pont-ar-Ddyfi facing S across the river towards Machynlleth.
History
The cottages were probably built at various periods from the early-mid C19, with later alterations.
Exterior
2 bays, extending into an additional bay, a former separate cottage, to the W. The two E bays are approximately symmetrical, with a central boarded door and 4-pane horned sash windows, and having sliding sash windows to the first floor. The additional bay has a former door converted to a window, and a 4-pane sash window, and on the upper floor a small-paned window. Dark brick stack, and a stone stack on the W party wall.
Reason for designation
Included as a good group of traditional cottages in vernacular style of the early C19, in an important and conspicuous location by the bridgehead.
