Description
Heol Pentrehedyn, which includes The Pharmacy, is a three-storey building dating from the 19th century. The front is made of coursed rubble and features six windows, a slate roof, a dentil eaves band, and a dark brick chimney stack on the left. The building has two gables with applied half-timbering and hook finials on either side of the center. The windows are sash style; the upper sashes of the gables have small panes, the remaining second-floor windows have nine panes, and the first-floor windows have four panes, except for the extreme left where a square bay has been added. The entrance to No 6 features a six-panel door with a traceried overlight, while No 8 has a half-glazed door. There is a modern shop front and broad boarded doors in the center.
Inside, there is a post and panel rear wall to the pantry, 19th-century stairs, and stop-chamfered beams on the first floor that have been later plastered or boxed. The attic has lath and plaster partition walls, and a windlass suggests it may have been used as a warehouse in the past. The building may have originally consisted of two houses with shops on the ground floor and one large and one small living unit above.
