Cadw's description
Location
On the street-line, in the centre of the village.
History
Victorian terrace of workers' cottages, probably erected c1870. The Bala to Dolgellau railway, which included a station at Llanuwchllyn, opened in August 1868 and this and other terraces in Llanuwchllyn are representative of its impact on the village. The buff-coloured stock bricks used for the voussoirs and chimneys were doubtless brought in by rail.
Interior
The interior was not inspected at the time of survey.
Reason for designation
Listed as part of a second-half C19 terrace retaining good original external character; a well-preserved example of village vernacular building.
Group value with other listed items in Church Street.
