Cadw's description
Location
In the valley 300 m south-east of the Vyrnwy Dam.
History
One of a set of four cottages with attached workshops probably built c.1900, as workers housing for the employees at the reservoir. The workshops have lost a chimney or ventilator at the centre of their main roof.
Exterior
The cottage to the right (east) of the terrace. The design of this cottage departs from the others by having a small window adjacent to the door.
Reason for designation
Part of a terrace of cottages with workshops related to the new community based on the Vyrnwy Reservoir. A composed group of cottages of picturesque character, which have been carefully conserved.
