Cadw's description
History
Built c1928. By North & Padmore, Architects, of Llanfairfechan. (Herbert Luck North (1871-1941) and P M Padmore (b 1896)).
The Close was laid out and developed between 1899 and 1945. The almost unaltered buildings (in materials making reference to local vernacular building styles), and the lay-out of The Close, form a textbook example of a group of high quality Arts and Crafts style domestic architecture unique in Wales.
