Museum of Childhood

The Museum of Childhood is a two-storey, four-bay former house built with scribed roughcast painted cream and topped with a slate roof. It features stacks on the left gable end of the rear range. The entrance is located in the second bay and includes a shallow open porch supported by cast-iron columns and a pediment, leading to a fielded-panel door set in a painted freestone surround. The windows are four-pane horned sashes, accompanied by modern shutters. A cast-iron street sign is positioned on the left side of the upper storey.

On the left gable end facing Mona Place, there is a replacement glazed door to the right and a bay window with five by two panes to the left, which was part of a former shop. A short rear wing has a four-pane sash window in the upper storey. Further left, within the same range as the adjoining Tyn-y-Gongl Cottage, there is a boarded door leading to a through passage and a nine-pane upper-storey window.

The rear of the building faces a narrow courtyard and features a central twelve-pane sash window that illuminates the stairs. To the left of this window is a two-storey projection with a replacement window in the lower storey and a sixteen-pane sash window in the upper storey. To the right of the stair window is a narrow gabled projection with a wooden shutter in the attic and a horizontal-sliding sash window in the lower storey. To its right is the rear wing and through passage facing Mona Place, which includes a twelve-pane hornless sash window in the upper storey.

The building has been converted for museum use but retains its original room layout, with an entrance hall and main rooms on the right and left, along with panel doors. Behind the entrance hall is a straight staircase featuring winders at the top and bottom, with a turned newel and plain balusters.
