Cadw's description
Location
The middle section of a uniform terrace. Set high above the road between Victoria Street and Bryn y Mor.
History
Plots of land sold 1851; said to have been built in 1853.
Exterior
Group of 3-storey and basement stucco fronts set in pairs with dividing panelled pilasters; wreathed cornice steps up from No 6 and there are quoins to left of No 12. Slate roofs, cement render chimney stacks and bracket eaves; small pane casement windows. Each front has a 2-storey splayed bay beside the paired central entrances with Tudor labels and 6-panel doors. The bays are carried on iron or timber columns over the slate steps to the basements with small pane sash windows. Nos 7 and 8 have contemporary railings to the steps up to the entrance.
Gables cross ranges at rear; that to No 8 has an early C20 brick extension. Detached beyond that is the rubble, former coach-house with sandstone dressings and slate lintels. Twelve-pane sash windows to rear of No 9.
The front gardens slope down to rubble forecourt walls with dressed stone coping, gate piers and finialled railings.
Interior
The interior of No 8 retains a Victorian fireplace flanked by arched recesses to the main room.
