Description
Erw-Wen is a two-storey asymmetric terrace building with a third attic storey added in the late 19th century. It features coursed rubble masonry, which is of an inferior technique compared to later constructions. The moderately pitched slate roof has deep verges, exposed purlins, and bargeboards, along with stone stacks and water tabling.
The building has three equidistant gablets above the second-floor windows, which are adorned with bargeboards and slate lintels. Erw-Wen itself has 12-pane sash windows, while the other two-storey Victorian rectangular bays feature later sash windows, hipped slate roofs, eaves cornices, and vertically paned sashes. The first floor has flanking 12-pane sashes, and the ground floor boasts a stone lintel and a "classical" doorcase. This doorcase is supported by half-round Tuscan pilasters on stone bases, which hold up a corniced entablature with diglyphs that bear quatrefoils. The deep reveals contain fielded panels, and the rectangular fanlight has diamond-like glazing above a six-panelled door, which has a lower reeded but flush design, while the upper panels are fielded (the upper is now glazed). Heavy slate steps lead down to the street.
To the left of Erw-Wen, there is a single two-tier bay with similar detailing. It has a 12-pane sash window on the first floor to the right of the doorway, although the doorcase has been removed. This bay also features diamond-like glazing in the rectangular fanlight above a complete six-panelled door with similar details to those found on Erw-Wen.
The property is enclosed by a low forecourt wall that is slate capped, with plain spear and hoop iron railings and gates.
