Cullen House and railings

Cullen House is a town-house that has been converted into a bank. It is constructed of dark red brick laid in Flemish bond, resting on a stone cill. The building features heavy brick quoins on the left side, while the right side is part of Bronwylfa. It has a deep eaves cornice with a course of nogged brick and a course of dentilled brick between plain courses. The slate roof includes three flat-roofed dormers at the eaves, each with hornless 6-pane sash windows. There are two brick chimneys at the rear, one of which is truncated.

The windows are cambered-headed with brick heads and painted stone large keystones, and they have painted stone sills. The house has two storeys and an attic, along with a cellar, and is arranged in three bays. The first-floor windows consist of 16 panes, while the ground-floor windows are longer, with 12 panes but missing glazing bars from the lower halves. In front of the central doorway, there are two semi-circular stone steps flanked by fluted Tuscan pilasters that support entablature blocks with pulvinated friezes beneath a pediment. The door itself has six fielded panels and a large latticed overlight.

The left end wall facing Bishops Castle Street is rendered over brick and shows a straight joint where it connects to an added rear wing. This end wall features a similar sash window on the ground floor, which has glazing bars only in the upper half. The lower wing to the left has dentilled eaves, a slate roof, and a brick end stack. Each floor of this wing has one 16-pane horned sash window with a cambered head. The brickwork continues seamlessly with a wall to the left that ramps down over a cambered-headed doorway.

The front of the building on Broad Street is enclosed by two sets of heavy early 19th-century iron railings on a stone base, which return to the house on either side of the door and at each end. The railings feature anthemion finials and urns on the stanchions.

Inside, the front rooms are used by the bank, with the northeast room entirely altered and the northwest room not inspected. There is a fine 18th-century staircase with turned balusters of the column-on-baluster type, a ramped rail, and scrolled tread ends. Additionally, there is a fielded four-panel door leading to a room in the rear wing and a panelled door for the cellar. The upper floors have not been inspected.
