48, St Owen Street

No. 48 St Owen Street is a house that has been converted into a shop, dating from the 17th century. It features a combination of rendered brick and timber-frame construction, topped with a Welsh slate roof and brick ridge and end stacks. The building has a three-unit plan, likely consisting of three bays of timber-framing.

The exterior is two storeys high with an attic and presents a four-window range. This includes three 6/6 sash windows set in moulded wood cases, along with an early 20th-century, 18-light corner window that has coloured transom lights. The façade displays close studding, a moulded wood eaves cornice, and two gabled roof dormers. The shop fronts, also from the early 20th century, feature doors in the centre bay and at the left corner. The right gable end has been refaced in early 20th-century brick and includes a returned shop front.

Inside, access to the staircase is from the Pegasus Club. The first floor has a 19th-century panelled dado with a frieze, a 19th-century cast-iron fireplace, an architrave around the corner window, exposed and reset timber-framing, a 19th-century fireplace with a hob-grate, and moulded plastered ceiling beams. The ground floor features plastered and chamfered ceiling beams, with a masonry stack-base located at the left rear. The cellar contains oak posts, a masonry stack-base and lining, and heavy ceiling beams.
