History

Built c1903. By Herbert Luck North (1871-1941), outstanding Arts and Crafts architect of his age in Wales.

The Close was laid out and developed between 1899 and 1945. The almost unaltered buildings (in materials making reference to local vernacular building styles), and the lay-out of The Close, form a textbook example of a group of high quality Arts and Crafts style domestic architecture unique in Wales.

Exterior

Two-storey house. Rough-cast render (now painted white). Roof laid in dark blue and light blue slates from Gallt y Llan quarry, Snowdon. Chimneys in red brick with some random blue bricks.

Asymmetrical gables to front elevation with large gable to L and smaller gable adjacent. Tall camber-headed window to each gable (small pane wooden casements). On ground floor, gabled porch with slated roof has pointed arch. Pointed arched entrance doorway with glazed door. To each side of porch, pair of camber headed windows (small pane wooden casements) lighting sitting room and dining room.

Interior

Inventive ground floor design. Square entrance hall with polished wooden floor. Rooms to L and R. Hall and rooms separated from each other by hinged wooden partitioning which allows combining of rooms to suit differing needs. At rear of entrance hall (L), entrance to kitchen and scullery, and to basement pantry. Stairs lit from window on half-landing off which is bathroom. Four bedrooms making inventive use of steeply pitched roofs and asymmetrical gables.
