Description
Cwpwrdd Cornel Cafe is a three-storey late Georgian house and shop, originally consisting of two units. It is constructed from local rubble with a roughcast front elevation and plain stucco surrounds on the first-floor windows. The building features a slate roof and end chimneys. It has an L-shaped plan, with a two-bay gabled principal section on the left and a single-bay section set back on the right. The shop fronts are modern and do not match the character of the building. Above these, there are 19th-century horned 12-pane sash windows on the first and second floors, with projecting stone sills throughout. The interior was not inspected during the survey.
