Description
8 Baker Street is a Grade II listed building featuring a continuous row of frontages that are detached and stepped forward from the Seion Welsh Congregational Chapel, with Nos 10 and 12 stepping down.
The buildings have two-window fronts made of scribed render, topped with slate roofs, wide bracket eaves, and brick chimney stacks, except for No 10, which has a rubble stack. They feature horned sash windows. Nos 4 to 8 have three-storey fronts with full height splayed bays, and Nos 4 and 6 are reflected pairs. The design includes rusticated quoins, cill bands, and architraves for the windows above the entrances. The doorcases have bracket dentil cornices and panelled reveals, with Nos 4 and 6 having four-panel doors. Nos 10 and 12 have two-storey and attic fronts that include two-storey splayed bays with panelled aprons. No 12 features a channelled ground floor and ornamental quoins above the first-floor cill band architrave for the first-floor window over the entrance. Pitched roof dormers are present, with two on No 10, featuring ornamented cills below the eaves level. The entrance to No 10 has an architrave and a four-panel door, while No 12 has a half-glazed door and a broader six-panel door leading to a side passage on the right, all under an overall pilastered doorcase with a cornice.
