Cadw's description

Location

On the W side of Church Street near the juction with Tudor Square.

History

Two houses, since late C20 a single shop with accommodation over. C19 rebuildings probably incorporating earlier walling. No 1 to the left, of two storeys has marks of an earlier gable line on the end wall and undulating roughcast on the rear, while No 2, three-storeys, has similar rear wall but the upper floor smoother, indicating that it may be added. Occupied in 2001 by Covent Garden House. No 1 occupied in 1977 by Goscar Rock Shop.

Exterior

Two houses, painted stucco or roughcast with slate roofs. No 1 to left 2 storey, an annex to No 2 of three storeys.
No 2 has close-eaved roof without chimneys, 2-window range to front of 4-pane sashes and ground floor shop. Late C20 shopfront in later C19 casing of 3 stucco thin pilasters, 2 framing left door, the third to right of right door, shop-window between doors. Windowless left end wall above No 1.
