Swn-y-Don, 7 Bulkeley Terrace

A late-Georgian style terrace comprising numbers 4–8 Bulkeley Terrace and 1 Raglan Street. The buildings are three storeys high with three bays each, finished in pebble-dash with smooth-rendered architraves, sill bands and head bands, except for No 4 which is scribed roughcast painted cream. The roofs are slate, hipped to the left over No 8, with added skylights and brick and roughcast ridge stacks plus two stacks at the left end.

Windows are predominantly 12-pane hornless sashes in the lower and middle storeys, with shorter 9-pane hornless sashes in the upper storey. The central bays of each house have blind middle and upper-storey windows.

No 4 has its entrance to the right, featuring a recessed panelled door and overlight. Window surrounds have stopped chamfers; in the lower storey, the top row of panes in the windows has been replaced by a single pane. No 5 has a 20th-century shop front framed by Tuscan pilasters with a fascia bearing a modern sign superimposed and a moulded cornice. A replaced panelled door stands to the left, with a small-pane window to the centre and another small-pane window to the right, probably occupying the position of a former doorway. No 6 has its entrance in the right-hand bay, with a panel door (upper panels fielded) and overlight in a painted freestone surround with stopped chamfers. The windows are replacement sashes. No 7 has a panelled door to the left with fielded upper panels and overlight, set in a painted freestone surround with stopped chamfers. The basement contains a segmental-headed window. No 8 occupies a corner site and has a shop front at ground level. It features a plain shop window to Castle Street framed by simple pilasters, a fascia with added modern sign, and a moulded cornice. The entrance is in the splayed corner with a replacement half-glazed door beneath a hood mould. The main angle of the building is deeply chamfered at middle-storey level. The left side wall, facing Raglan Street, has a shop window similar to the Castle Street elevation. Further left is a half-glazed door beneath a round-headed overlight (No 1 Raglan Street), above which are central hornless sash windows—12-pane in the middle storey and 9-pane in the upper storey—flanked by blind windows.

In the rear elevation, the houses vary in detail but share the same basic three-bay structure with 12-pane hornless sashes in the lower and middle storeys, shorter 9-pane sashes in the upper storey, and blind central windows. The basement storey is of painted dressed stone with altered openings. No 8 is pebble-dashed with smooth-rendered architraves and lower and middle-storey sill bands, and has a fielded-panel door to the left beneath a round-headed overlight. No 7 is also pebble-dashed with smooth-rendered keyed architraves in the lower and middle storeys and plain architraves in the upper storey. The entrance in the right-hand bay has a panel door and round-headed overlight in a plain architrave, beneath a moulded cornice on head corbels. No 6 is rendered with moulded architraves to the lower and middle storeys and a middle-storey sill band. Its entrance is on the left side, in a painted freestone surround with stopped chamfers, a moulded cornice on consoles, and features a circa 1900 half-glazed door with overlight. No 5 is rendered with moulded architraves to the lower and middle storeys and a middle-storey sill band. It has three ground-floor windows, the narrower left-hand window formerly a doorway, with replacement horned sashes. No 4 is also rendered with moulded architraves and pediments on consoles to the lower and middle-storey windows. The left-hand entrance has a plain architrave and pediment with a half-lit panelled door and overlight of late 19th or early 20th-century date.
