Front edge of each wall is rusticated with top cornice piece to restrain coping. Oak lintels across and rafter roof. Gates have dog-bars, mid and top row of circles and spearhead finials. To each side is a curving low stone terrace wall with rusticated stone coping and low spearhead rails, a short length extending S to Neuadd Fawr Arms, a longer length N to No 1 Church Street.
