Cadw's description
Location
Situated near the junction of St George's Street and Lower Frog Street.
History
House now shop of uncertain date, small scale and small windows point to a C18 date, but no datable features survive.
Exterior
House now shop, rubble stone with imitation slate roof and no chimneys. Two storeys, double-fronted with two small-paned single casement windows to first floor, under eaves, and ground floor doorway with C20 plank door flanked by C20 plate glass fixed windows, left window slightly larger, all three under timber lintels.
