Description
This building, known as House and Oriel y Crochenwyr (The Potters' Gallery), is a late-Georgian style three-storey, two-window house and shop that is part of a range with No 3. It features a scribed render front and a slate roof, which includes front and rear skylights, as well as a large brick stack on the left side. The shop front, designed in a late 19th-century style, has a three-light window set on a fielded-panel stallboard, with recessed fielded-panel doors leading to the shop on the left and the house on the right. This entrance is framed by panelled pilasters and a fascia with end brackets.
On the first floor, there is a canted oriel window with a 12-pane hornless sash window, while the second floor has two 16-pane hornless sash windows, both featuring moulded architraves. The left gable end and rear of the building are constructed of rubble stone. The rear includes windows in their original openings on the right side, featuring a two-pane sash window on the lower storey and steel-framed mid-20th-century casements on the first and second floors. The left side has a half-glazed mid-20th-century door located beneath a first-floor projection supported by concrete posts, along with a two-pane sash window on the second floor.
The interior of the building has been modernised. The cellar contains stone steps, which may belong to an earlier house that once occupied the site.
