Cadw's description
Location
At north side of the main street of the village, about 50 m west of the Sun Hotel.
History
Early C19. The terrace carries a stone above the entry marked with the letters D E J and the date 1832, though Cartrefle may be a little earlier. many of the windows have a stylistic feature (diagonally crossed bars in the upper parts of the lights) found locally from about 1815. The initials appear to link these cottages with Victoria Terrace nearby.
Exterior
A single-fronted cottage with chimney to its right. This cottage retains its small-pane window with diagonal crossed bars in the tops of the lights in both the upper and lower windows. Modern semi-glazed door.
Reason for designation
An integral part of a terrace of early C19 cottages, well preserved apart from some minor alterations of detail.
