Pair of semi-detached houses in Elan Village. Like the other buildings in the village they are built in an Arts and Crafts style, with local rock-faced masonry, window surrounds of stone imported from elsewhere, and slated roofs, possibly of local slate. In the background is the isolated hilltop of Carn Gafallt.
