Description
The building occupied by Mawddach Wholefood Co-operative and Meirionnydd District Council is a two-plus storey house with three windows, constructed from coursed rubble masonry. It features an old quarry slate roof that is steeply pitched and lacks rainwater goods at the front. The structure has stone stacks with simply moulded caps and water tabling.
The attic storey includes hipped dormers with rubble cheeks and laced valleys. The windows consist of two-light casements with a single horizontal glazing bar, while the first-floor windows are larger with stone sills and lintels. To the extreme left, there is a small two-pane single light service room window, with a similar window located below it on the ground floor. The central doorway has a modern door, with a casement window to the left, both featuring stone lintels and sills. To the right of the door, there is a small later cut window with a shallow slate lintel and sill, along with two doorways; the left one was originally a window, while the other is a later addition.
On the rear elevation, there is a hipped dormer to the extreme left, a two-light six-pane casement window, and a small raking dormer set entirely within the roof on the extreme right, which has slated cheeks and a two-pane iron light. The rear of the building is at a higher street level, featuring two doors flanking a central window, all with stone lintels. The doors are plank style, with a shallow rectangular fanlight to the right and a Victorian sash window in the center. There is a smaller opening offset to the left below the window, and the doors may have originally been windows.
The front of the building has a cobbled apron with sill stones along the edge.
