Cadw's description
Location
On the E side of Castle Square facing W to overlook the harbour.
History
Terraced house in row of three, late C18 or early C19, shown in 1817 view of Tenby, when only this house and No 1 were built. The house had different glazing in 1817, plain upper window and possibly a two-storey canted bay below, but detail is not clear. The present castellated ground floor is mid C19.

Three storeys, one-window range with ground floor big mid C19 stuccoed canted bay to ground floor with door to right and central 2-storey timber canted bay above with cornices and 4-16-4-pane sashes. Ground floor bay is set to left and has 3 round-arched windows with small panes and radiating-bar heads (restored 2000), cornice on plain corbels (like those of St Catherine's to rear) and low parapet with crenellations, continued to right over doorway in chamfered surround. Mid C19 door with 2 long panels and 3-pane overlight.
Interior
Not inspected.
