Description
The Marconi Bungalows were built after the First World War to house staff operating the nearby Marconi long-wave radio receiving station (nprn 421024). There are eight dwellings, nos. 1-7 in a row and no.8 to the west. Each is of timber-framed construction under a hipped roof with diamond pattern slates; bungalows 2 and 7 still retain something of their original horizontal timber weatherboarded appearance whilst the others have painted roughcast walls. To the east is the original radio station building, now converted into two dwellings, Hafodybryn and Suilven.
