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
Between nos 7 and 8 with a narrow frontage to Steep Street only and created by flying freeholds is an additional house in the terrace. It has 3 storeys, a single window range of 12-pane sashes and a projecting gabled extension.
Reason for designation
Listed as an early C19 terrace retaining overall character.
