A terrace of mid C19 cottages shown as Garth Terrace on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey of 1874, but not shown on the Eglwysilan tithe map of 1841. They may have been built for workers at the Garth Foundry which was on the opposite side of the Taff Vale Railway. Known as Alfred's Terrace by the time of the Ordnance Survey of 1900. A 3-window house was built on to the E end of the terrace c1900. No 1 at the W end of the terrace was altered in the mid C20.
No 1 is 1-window to the front and rear. The entrance is to the W end of the terrace. Symmetrical 3-window elevation, rendered with hipped roof. Central gabled porch with doorway to S side, entered through a late C20 single-storey conservatory. Mid C20 2-light metal-framed windows under flat heads.
Listed as an unusually well preserved example of a terrace of workers cottages. Such examples are becoming increasingly rare in South Wales.
