4 And 6, Meneage Street

4 and 6 Meneage Street is a probable merchant's house that has been converted into a shop and café. It dates from the 17th century and has undergone later alterations. The front is rendered on a timber frame, topped with a steep dry slate roof featuring a moulded eaves cornice. There is a brick stack on the left and a granite ashlar stack on the right. The building has a deep U-shaped plan, with a deeper wing on the left, and stands three storeys high with a three-bay front.

The upper floors have hipped roofs over tiered oriels on the left and right, flanking a central early 19th-century square 12-pane hornless sash window above an 18th-century twelve-pane two-light casement with thick glazing bars. The narrower second-floor oriels contain similar 18th-century casements within the remains of 17th-century frames that originally had mullions. The wide first-floor oriels feature small panes and are adorned with a moulded entablature, supported on carved brackets for the right-hand entablature.

On the ground floor, there are two early 20th-century transomed double shop fronts with coloured leaded top lights. The left-hand shop has a widened doorway, while the other shop has had its mullions removed, both featuring 20th-century sloping fascias.

The interior of No. 6, which is on the right, includes a front first-floor chamber with high-quality early 18th-century features. This room has a ribbed plaster ceiling with a central round acanthus rose, arabesques in the corners, and a cornice with egg and dart detailing over dentils. It also has a fielded panelled dado, an eight-panel door, eared architraves, a niche with shaped shelves, and a chimney-piece featuring a mid-19th-century flying horseshoe iron grate.
