Description
Maesgwyn is a two and a half storey building with two windows, constructed of coursed rubble masonry. It features a moderately pitched slate roof with plain eaves and close verges, along with stone stacks and water tabling.
The top storey has gabled stone dormers with moulded bargeboards. The building is adorned with Victorian sash windows that have stone lintels and sills, which are also present on the first floor. The ground floor includes a late 19th-century shopfront with pedimented fascia ends and Tuscan pilasters, as well as a deep modern fascia. The central entrance is recessed and features a half-glazed door. The shop windows have slender turned rods at the corners and modern stallrisers.
To the left of the shopfront is a domestic doorway with a deep rectangular fanlight that has diamond and marginal glazing bars, leading to a six-panel door with the upper panels glazed, all under a stone lintel.
