4 Bangor Street

A terrace of 3½-storey 2-bay shops with dwellings above in a vigorous enriched classical style. The building has a roughcast front, mansard slate roof hipped to the right, and roughcast stacks.

The lower-storey shop fronts have been altered, though the fluted consoles to the fascia with dentil cornice from the original 19th-century shop front are retained. A 20th-century replacement shop front is now in place. The upper storeys form a single coherent design.

The middle and upper storeys are distinguished by double-height fluted and wreathed Ionic pilasters framing each property, with a deep dentilled cornice and short Tuscan pilasters to the attic. Between Numbers 4 and 6, an original cast iron anthemion finial is retained.

Number 4 and Number 6 have a pair of 4-pane horned sash windows in moulded architraves above the capitals of Tuscan pilasters in the middle storey. Number 6 also features an iron sign bracket between the middle-storey windows. Number 2, at the right end, has a tripartite window in a segmental-headed architrave with moulding above the crocket capitals of pilasters and a foliage-enriched keystone; colonnettes have similar capitals. The central round-headed light has been replaced, but the outer segmental-headed windows retain their 4-pane sashes. Above the middle-storey windows is a blank inscription band forming a plain architrave.

In the upper storey, each property has 2 segmental-headed 4-pane sash windows in architraves moulded above Tuscan pilaster capitals. The attic storey features half dormers: Number 2 has a pair of replaced windows in segmental-headed keyed architraves beneath a single open segmental pediment on moulded corbels; Number 4 has a 4-pane sash window in a segmental-headed keyed architrave to a gabled half dormer; Number 6 has a round-headed 4-pane sash window under a moulded head with keystone, set in a round-headed half dormer.

The right corner is rounded and rebated between Ionic pilasters, with 'Rhydalun House' in raised letters at attic level. The right-hand side wall facing North Penrallt has a single bay similar to the front of Number 2, including attic dormer, except the middle-storey window has no colonnettes.

Further right is a plainer 3½-storey wing of 4 unequal bays with a roughcast front, broad bands between storeys, a deep bracketed eaves cornice below the attic, and a slate mansard roof. The lower storey has segmental-headed keyed architraves to 4-pane horned sash windows. A replaced door occupies the bay right of centre; the narrow right-hand bay has a boarded passage door. The middle and upper storeys have segmental-headed moulded architraves with keystones to 4-pane horned sash windows, with a similar 2-pane window in the narrow end bay, its lower sash boarded up. The attic contains a central 4-pane round-headed half dormer. Similar half dormers that were equally placed right and left have been removed and replaced by skylights. The right-hand bay has a small attic window.
