Cadw's description
Location
Situated at the N end of the street, next to Pont Bran.
History

Windows have stone quoins, voussoirs and sills, and are under split stone hoodmoulds. Ground floor indows are small-paned 2-light casements, probably originally horizontally-sliding, to match those which survive on the first floor. Centre Tudor-arched doorway with stone voussoirs and split stone gabled hood. Panelled Tudor-arched door with radial fanlight. N end 2-light first floor window with stone lintel and small ground floor window, both set to right. S end first floor C20 inserted window, set to left.
