Cadw's description
Location
About 100m east of the Church of St Cadoc at the junction of Backhall Street and Museum Street.
History
A building of early C19 character but very probably C18 in origin. It was clearly built before the other houses in the row.
Exterior
The building is entirely pebble-dashed presumably over local rubble stone, Welsh slate roof. It is a two storey, single depth building in a range running parallel with the street. It originally had a small rear wing but this is now separated off from it. The ground floor has three windows, two doors and a small shopfront arranged thus W : D : W : W : SF : D. The left hand window is a 6 over 6 pane sash and the other two are 4 over 4 with exposed cases and elliptical heads. The left hand door is 4-panel; the right hand one is a modern part glazed one. The shopfront is a mid C19 small paned one with 8 x 3 panes in a moulded frame which includes the modern door. Six windows above with 4 over 4 sashes and exposed cases; the left hand window is not spaced evenly with the rest. Gable end roof with ridge stack on the left gable.
Interior
Not inspected at time of resurvey.
Reason for designation
Included as a probably C18 house which still retains historic character despite some changes.
