Cadw's description
Location
In a block of commercial and residential buildings fronting the street.
History
A mid C19 shop and house first shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey. Probably a single build with numbers 17 and 21.
Exterior
A late-Georgian style 3-storey 1-bay shop and house in a single range with Nos 17 and 21. Its front is a later remodelling as a pair with No 21, a scribed roughcast front painted cream, raised quoins to the L (balanced by quoins to No 21) and slate roof. The modern plate-glass shop window has a glazed door to the R with lower panel, under an overlight. It has a deep fascia with end fluted panels. Segmental-headed windows are 9-pane hornless sashes in eared and lugged architraves, with pediment to the 1st floor.
Interior
Not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as a commercial and residential building of definite C19 character (notwithstanding modern shop front), and for its contribution to the historical townscape.
