Description

Siop Yr Oen is a three-storey, five-bay building featuring a simple classical brick front. The second floor is constructed of stock brick, while the first floor is painted brick, and the right-hand part of the ground floor has rusticated cladding. The building has a hipped slate roof with hipped projections on the paired outer bays. The central bay was originally recessed, but the ground and first floors were brought forward, likely during its conversion to a cinema. There is a timber balustrade on the second floor, which serves as a 'balcony' but has no access. Most windows are sash windows, either six or fifteen panes, with modern windows on the second floor to the right. A freestone cill band runs along the second floor.

The shop front has been altered, featuring a projecting fascia below the shop sign and pilasters flanking the window and central splayed entrance. A figure of a sheep is suspended from a bracket on the first floor. A band course at the fascia level extends across the rusticated cladding of the adjacent Laura Ashley store. There are three round-arched openings with an impost band; the left arch is slightly taller and has an iron gate with an overthrow. The centre has an eight-panel former bank door, and a modern window has been inserted into the former doorway on the right. The side elevations are made of rubble, with the ground floor on the right painted and featuring three arched openings that were once full height, with a band course continuing from the front. Some openings are blocked, indicating that there may have been a balcony. The rear is constructed of rubble with stock brick dressings, small pane sashes, and a recessed central bay.

The interior has been partially converted, but the second floor retains one room with fluted Corinthian pilasters and bracketed springers for the trusses.
