Talfor and Gorsefield are a pair of semi-detached two-storey houses built c.1906 for the estate agent R. Arthur Jones, and designed by the outstanding Arts and Crafts architect, Herbert Luck North (1871-1941), who lived and worked in Llanfairfechan from c.1901.

Between the pair of gables, the roof sweeps down over a projecting veranda supported on braced wooden posts. The ground floor plan is one North used in a number of early houses, probably influenced by Baillie Scott, where the two main rooms and central hall can be thrown together as one room, or they can be closed off from each other by doors, allowing a through-route to the rear kitchen and study.
The ingenuous arrangement of doors survives at Gorsefield.

The main ground floor rooms have exposed ceiling beams and joists which were originally decorated with stencilled patterns.
