Cadw's description
Location
Continuous terrace on the hillside well above and facing out over River Wye, set above and back from the main road. Numbering ascends downhill.
History
Early C19, c 1832. Numbers 2 and 3 at top may be alterations of an existing building originally fronting Steep Street. It is suggested from some internal evidence that wooden balconies formed part of the original design, but these have not survived. Water was stored in cisterns under the houses.
Exterior
Number 7 has roughcast render, plastic casement windows to ground and first floor, 6 panelled door, fanlight with radial glazing, double and single width sash to top floor.
Reason for designation
Listed as an early C19 terrace retaining overall character.
