Description

No. 38 on St Gluvius Street is a small town house dating from the 18th century, which was remodeled in the 19th century. The front is made of rendered rubble, and it features a steep dry slate roof with a brick stack on the left side. The house has a double-depth plan that includes an older wing at the rear right and a later lean-to in the rear angle. It stands two storeys tall and has a two-window range. The mid to late 19th-century windows are four-pane hornless sashes above a later six-pane horned sash. There is possibly an 18th-century door on the right with a bolection-moulded bottom panel. Inside, the front room has a large granite fireplace structure, while the rear wing contains 19th-century ceiling joists, a staircase, and a later 19th-century Cornish cast-iron range.
