Description
The Wine Vaults Public House is a three-storey building featuring a five-window front, constructed in stucco with a lined finish under a shallow slate roof that is hipped at the right end. There is a brick stack at the left end. The upper storey windows are aligned, with three grouped on the left and two on the right, all of which are horned four-pane sashes with flat heads and stone sills. The building has two attic dormers located on the left and in the centre, both with hipped roofs, slate-hung sides, and two-light casements.
On the ground floor, there is an impressive veranda supported by six Tuscan columns with ringed capitals and bases. The cornice above the columns is not continuous and is covered by a lean-to slate roof. Between the columns, there are plain wooden railings with two gates. The ground floor features two doorways, each with panelled doors that may have been renewed, and between them are two twelve-pane hornless sashes set in moulded frames. To the far right, there is a small six-pane window. On the far left, there is a former shop front that includes a bow-window with large-pane wooden glazing set on a roughcast stall board, with a fascia that reads 'Unicorn Wines'; to the left of this is a plain-glazed wooden door. The north end of the building, which faces Upper Clwyd Street, has a two-window front with four-pane sashes and a small brick stack at the northwest angle. The building is joined on the left by the Corporation Arms. The rear of the Wine Vaults is constructed of red brick. The interior has not been seen.
