Cadw's description
Location
In the easternmost block of buildings in Castle Street, and opposite Rating Row.
History
Built in the late C18 or early C19 and shown on the 1829 town plan as a house. An early C20 photograph shows the building still a house, with an oriel window in the first floor. The present shop front is late C20.
Exterior
A late Georgian 3-storey 3-bay house and shop of whitened render, slate roof and brick stack to the R. The lower storey, formerly 2 shops, has C20 shop fronts with doorways under overlights to the centre and small-pane shop windows to the outer sides. Access to the upper floors is by inserted panelled door and overlight at the L end. The middle storey has a 16-pane horned sash window in the centre, and 12-pane tripartite outer horned sash windows (of which the L-hand replaced an oriel window). The upper storey has small-pane tripartite fixed windows in the outer bays and central gable with a pointed small-pane sash window with intersecting glazing bars.
Extended and rebuilt at the rear.
Interior
Altered with conversion to a shop.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as a house and shop retaining late Georgian character and detail, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Castle Street.
