Cadw's description
Location
Situated adjacent to the Town Hall on street line.
History
C18 house recorded as an inn since C19, very similar to the Royal Oak across the square. Building shown on this site on 1844 tithe map.
Exterior
Inn, stone rubble (formerly roughcast), with slate close-eaved roof and rendered end stacks, the right stack substantially larger. One storey and attic, low 3 window range, 3 narrow 4-pane sash windows in attic, breaking eaves with catslide roofs and 3 large ground floor 4-pane sash windows with stuccoed eared surrounds. Centre window replaces a door. Right gable end has a 2-pane sash window to right of first floor, one below this and doorway to left. All openings in gable end wall with plain stuccoed surround. Two small rubble wings to rear, with full-width garage door in wing nearest street.
Reason for designation
Included as a traditional Pembrokeshire vernacular house of the C18, similar to the Royal Oak opposite, both are rare survivals.
