Portmeirion was designed and laid out by the celebrated architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis (1883-1978) following his purchase of the estate, then called Aber Iâ, in 1926. The village evolved over several decades and was still being added to in the 1970s.
Chantry Row was built 1962-3 to designs of February 1962 and consists of two units, designed to give the impression of a terrace of four cottages. A faux tower with onion dome hides a boiler chimney.
Single-storey flat-roofed building arranged to simulate a terrace of 4 houses. Stucco fronts painted different colours and with 5 dummy windows under the eaves to imply an attic storey; wide overhanging eaves. There are nine bays with 12-pane sashes alternating asymmetrically with 12-pane glazed doors, the latter with iron railed balconys. These doors are (from L-R) to bays 2,5,7 &8. At the west end is half an octagonal turret with onion dome above, built to conceal chimney, and finished in green in imitation of copper.
Listed as a distinctive faux terrace; one of a number of buildings and structures designed by the eminent architect and conservationist Sir Clough Williams-Ellis for his visionary Portmeirion villiage.
