Description

Meirion House is an early 18th-century building, believed to date from 1726, with later 19th-century alterations and additions. It is a two-storey house-and-shop constructed of rubble with shallow slate roofs, featuring a roughly L-shaped plan. The main block has a pyramidal roof with plain end chimneys and was extended towards the road in the second half of the 19th century to create a shallow shop bay that is continuously roofed with the earlier block. This section includes an additional plain chimney and a rendered return wall on the right. The entrance is located on the left and features an early 20th-century part-glazed door.

To the right of the entrance, separated by a railed forecourt, is a 19th-century double shop front with a central entrance, part-glazed door, and rectangular fanlight. The shop front has flanking 9-pane windows with projecting slate cills and plain pilasters on square stone pedestals. Above, there is a plain fascia that displays the name 'Meirion House' in applied wooden lettering, previously ceramic, along with a moulded and dentilated cornice. The first floor has two plain 19th-century sash windows.

To the left, there is an advanced 19th-century domestic wing with a hipped roof facing the street and a wide, plain stack with a simple cornice. The wing has a staggered L return that once had external stepped access to a first-floor entrance, which has since been replaced with a modern window. Beyond this, there is a two-tier rubble stack with a rendered upper section and modern windows.

Inside, the main entrance hall features roughly-chamfered ceiling beams and a large fireplace with a chamfered bressummer and a 19th-century range. A similar ceiling is found in the rear ground-floor room, which has a six-panelled door. The former shop section has a part-slate floor and late 19th-century plain compartmented shelving. A 19th-century half-dog-leg staircase leads from the hall, featuring columnar newel posts, stick balusters, and a swept rail, with a further similar straight-flight staircase leading to the left section.
