Description
Clwyd Bank is a large, two-storey building with attics, located at 32 and 34 Clwyd Street, which form a group. The structure features a five-window range with a central gabled porch wing. It has a roughcast exterior over timber-framing, set on a plinth, and is topped with a slate roof that includes a central clustered brick stack. The west gable end is made of random stone and has a brick stack. On either side of the porch wing, there are high gabled attic dormers with small triangular iron-glazed windows and scalloped barge boards. The rear, which is partly visible, is roughcast and has three gabled wings; the central wing is likely from the 19th century, while the flanking wings are from the late 20th century.
No. 34 is to the left of the porch wing and features a two-window range with a central entrance. The windows are small-pane horizontal sliding sashes with margin glazing, probably from the early 19th century. The entrance has a late 20th-century half-glazed door with an overlight, situated under a gabled porch canopy supported by narrow timber posts with scalloped barge boards. There is a very small attic dormer with a two-light casement positioned between the larger dormer and the porch wing. The west gable end has a small-pane window inset to the right on the ground floor. There is a single-storey wing extending to the left, which includes a small two-light casement under a segmental head made of stone voussoirs. At the rear, there is a 20th-century gabled wing with a doorway and small-pane top-hung windows. In front of the house, adjoining the former porch wing to the right, are iron forecourt railings on a dressed stone plinth, with a single gate opposite the entrance.
The interior has a two-unit plan with 17th-century details. The living room, located inside the entrance, features a ceiling with two medium-chamfered spine beams that have ogee stops. There is a large fireplace to the left, which has been infilled with a modern fireplace. Opposite the fireplace, there is a box-framed partition with wattle and daub panels, and a former doorway to the left that has been infilled with brick. The staircase is accessed by a corridor at the rear of the living room, effectively a winding stair to the right of the fireplace. The kitchen is located in the 20th-century rear wing. The first floor has medium-chamfered spine beams and plain joists, while the attic features substantial tie-beam trusses with cambered collars. The dormers are constructed of small-scantling timber-framing, possibly from the 19th century.
