Built c1924. 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.
