Cadw's description
History
Built 1945. By P M Padmore (b 1896), architect, partner of H L North, after death of latter in 1941.
The Close was laid out and developed between 1899 and 1945, instigated by H L North, outstanding Arts and Crafts architect of his age in Wales. 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.
Exterior
Two-storey house. Rough-cast render (now painted white). Roof laid in graded courses of small grey slates. Chimneys in red-brown brick with inclined slate covers.
Front (W) elevation runs up into central gable with group of three windows; below which is ground floor window. To L, bay with hipped slate roof (formerly garage). To R, roof sweeps down over porch (now glazed). Gable end to R has first floor group of three windows above bay window with slate roof (addition by P M Padmore).
Reason for designation
Listed for group value with other buildings in The Close and its vicinity.
