Description
Post Office and house, 8-16 Church Street, Tremadog
A terrace of four 2-storey houses and a shop with various rendered fronts, slate roofs and four stone stacks. There is no stack at the left end. The details of the houses differ, with most having later 19th-century fronts.
Numbers 8-10 form a two-window shop (The Post Office) and house with scribed render. A modern replacement small-pane shop window has a recessed half-glazed door, with simple Tuscan pilasters below a fascia and moulded cornice. Other openings have hood moulds. The house (No 10) is entered at the left end by a recessed replacement panelled door and overlight. In the upper storey are replacement top-hung windows offset to the left and aligned with the doorways.
Number 12 is a double-fronted house of cream-painted pebble-dashed front with smooth-rendered pilaster strips, upper-storey sill band and architraves. Its entrance is offset to the left of centre and has a recessed central door of two round-headed panels under an overlight. Windows are twelve-pane hornless sashes with slate sills.
Number 14 is a two-window house with grey pebble-dashed front. Openings are offset to the left. The entrance on the left side has an added half-glazed porch, inside which is a replacement half-glazed door under a round-headed overlight with relief foliage in the spandrels. Windows are two-pane sashes in original openings, horned in the lower storey and hornless in the upper storey. The front bears a plaque commemorating William Jones.
Number 16 is a pebble-dashed two-window house. The entrance on the left side has a modern open porch of steel posts supporting an entablature and cornice with dentil frieze. The replacement door has two circular panels and glazed round-headed upper panels, under a plain overlight. On the right side is a late 19th-century two-storey canted bay window with four-pane sashes. The upper storey also has a four-pane sash window above the doorway. In the rubble-stone left gable end, No 16 has a replacement attic window to the right of centre.
To the rear, the houses have two-storey wings, except for a one-storey wing to No 12. Skylights and a roof dormer have been added to No 14.
