Siop Clwyd

Siop Clwyd is a long, two-storey house and shop dating from the late medieval period. It features a narrow gabled facade and is constructed with close-studded timber framing, with some limestone rubble walls at the rear. The roof is modern slate with simply-moulded bargeboards, and there is a tall brick lateral chimney. The front gable has a jettied first floor and a jettied gable above. The shop front is modern, with an entrance on the right and a plain-glazed, modern two-light window on the first floor.

The rear gable also has a jettied upper floor, supported by double-curved green sandstone corbels on the right. There is a modern boarded door for the entrance on the ground floor to the left, and modern three-light windows on both floors, with the ground floor featuring later rubble infill. The right-hand side wall is full height to the rear section and has a blocked-up four-light wooden mullioned window that once served the former solar. The left side has a similar blocked early window in the timber-framed upper floor, along with two small primary windows, one on each floor, both walled-up and featuring chamfered sandstone reveals. These may have originally lit an internal stair.

Inside, the former shop area has a simply-moulded, stopped-chamfered lateral beam with plain, flat ceiling joists, all reflecting early Tudor design. Beyond this area, the floor level drops by approximately one metre to the rear section, which has a 17th-century ceiling that subdivides the former hall, featuring a stopped-chamfered main beam and plain joists. The rear chamber, which was formerly the parlour, boasts a fine moulded and broach-stopped lateral main beam that supports finely stopped-chamfered joists, all close-framed and flat-set in the late medieval style.
