Cadw's description
Location
Crown Terrace is located in the centre of the village of Llanfechell. The terrace is at the SE side of the N road of the crossroads and lies directly opposite the churchyard of the church of St Mechell. No 2 lies at the far L (NE) end of the row.
History
Early C19 terraced house, marked on the Tithe Map of Llanfechell, 1842; occupied by John Hughes and others and owned by William Bulkeley Hughes Esq of Brynddu.
Exterior
A long 2-window range with doorway offset to the L (NE) end; 1 window to the left of the doorway and 2 to its right. Half-glazed door with margin panes and shallow rectangular fanlight. Elevations are pebbledashed and windows are a late C19 type, horned sashes with margin panes. The L return has a single window to each floor, set to the rear of the house.
Interior
Interior not inspected at the time of the survey.
Reason for designation
Included as part of a well preserved terrace of early C19 village houses. The terrace retains much of its character particularly in the retention of so much of its original fenestration and forms a strong visual group with the adjacent Church of St Mechell, Rectory and War Memorial.
