Description
Hengoed House is a tall late Georgian building that stands three storeys high with a one-window rendered front. It has a long and narrow shape, topped with a slate roof that features an uneven ridge. The gable ends face Market Street and Russell Street, both adorned with projecting plain bargeboards. On the second floor, there is a casement window set in a moulded architrave, while the first floor features a 16-pane sash window.
The shop front includes a projecting boxed cornice supported by timber pilasters, which have vacant recessed panels and plain capitals. It has a three-light shop window, a recessed entrance, and a four-panelled door with a fanlight above. The left side elevation is plain, with brick lean-to buttresses. The rear of the building rises to four storeys and is roughcast, featuring a casement window on the top floor and metal frames on the second and third floors. The ground floor has a vertically boarded door set in rubble, with a brick stack located at the right rear.
