21, Elvet Bridge

No. 21 Elvet Bridge is a house that now functions as a house and shop. It incorporates part of Elvet Bridge in its sub-basement, which may date back to the medieval period. The main part of the building is from the late 18th century or early 19th century, while the shop section was added around 1900. The house is constructed of English bond brick with painted ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings on moulded kneelers.

The building has two storeys and three wide bays. The shop has two recessed entrances flanked by slender pilasters leading to canted windows, with faceted stallrisers and a bracketed, modillioned cornice above. To the right, there is a vehicle entrance with slender pilasters and an arch under an elliptical brick arch. The first-floor windows have wedge stone lintels and projecting stone sills, with a casement window on the left and a sash window with glazing bars on the right, along with a central oriel window.

There is an ashlar-corniced chimney on the left end, while the massive rendered chimney on the right is likely the external stack of the house to the right. The sub-basement is reported to be made of ashlar and features one transverse arch.
