Cadw's description
Location
Located in the centre of Llawr y Glyn, on the E side of the lane which runs S from the main crossroads.
History
Probably mid-C19. Immediately behind the Wesleyan chapel of 1873, and later connected by a short linking range. Marked as a shop and Post Office on an undated plan of the village.
Exterior
A mirrored pair of 2-window 2-storey cottages with basements, Min y Nant left and Glandwr right. Constructed of random stone with quoins, slate-hung to front, under a slate roof with shared brick ridge stack, and cusped barge boards to gable ends. To the front, the entrances are slightly raised above the road level. The openings have segmental heads, the windows mainly small-pane wooden casements. Each cottage has a panelled door with overlight to the outer side, and a 3-light casement towards the centre. To the 1st floor, each cottage has a similar 3-light casement aligned towards the centre, and a 2-light casement with fan-light to the outer side. The rear of each cottage has a 3-light small-pane wooden casement under segmental stone head to the upper storey, the ground floor not seen.
In front of the cottages are forecourt walls of random stone with saddle-back brick copings, surmounted by narrow iron railings with arched tops. These retaining walls enclose small gardens; stone steps lead up to the entrances.
Glandwr has a basement storey reached by a doorway to the gable end. On its L is a C20 plain-glazed 3-light wooden casement. A similar window has been inserted into the front elevation, cutting through the forecourt wall.
Interior
Interior not seen at resurvey.
Reason for designation
Listed as a pair of cottages in a village setting retaining C19 character and detail, including good slate-hung fronts.
