Cadw's description
Location
Near the S end of the terraced street.
History
A late C18 house shown on the 1810 and 1834 town plans. It was converted to business premises later in the C19 and was a solicitor's office in 1895.
Exterior
A late Georgian 3-storey 2-window house of pebble-dashed front wall and slate roof with rendered stack to the L. Fielded-panel door and overlight to the R, 2 offset windows to its L. Windows in the middle and upper storey are evenly placed and aligned. All windows are replaced in original openings. The rendered rear also has replaced windows, and a single-storey projection.

Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding replacement of windows, as a terraced house for group value with 3 and 7-11 Market Street and for its contribution to the historic integrity of the walled town.
