Description

The Bakery is a mid-19th century house that is part of a row of five houses, with the first three displaying Regency architectural characteristics. The buildings are constructed from rendered stone and feature stone stacks and bracketed eaves, with slate roofs. The roofs of Penlanfair and The Bakery are at a lower level. All houses are two storeys tall, with Levant, Rhiwlas, and Brynllys also having basements. Each house has a three-window front and painted sills.

Levant features an Ionic porch with a dentilled entablature, while Rhiwlas and Brynllys have half-column doorcases with uniquely shaped bulbous necks on the columns and plain entablatures. Levant and Rhiwlas have recessed doors with panelled reveals and radiating bar fanlights, whereas Brynllys has similar reveals but a rectangular traceried overlight. All houses have well-crafted eight-panelled doors. The first floor windows have twelve panes, and the ground floor windows typically have sixteen panes, except for Rhiwlas, which has sixteen-pane sashes on both floors. Iron railings adorn all three houses, with Levant featuring additional quatrefoil pierced mid-rails. Projecting stones on the left corner of Levant indicate that the row was originally intended to be longer.

Penlanfair is finished in painted roughcast with stucco dressings, featuring twelve-pane sashes, a six-panelled door, and a traceried rectangular fanlight. The openings have raised shouldered surrounds with keystones, and the facade is offset to the left.

The Bakery is positioned slightly forward of the other four houses and lacks visible stacks. It is also roughcast and has twelve-pane sashes, except for the left ground floor window, which is a former shop window with twenty panes. The house features interior and exterior glazed doors with rectangular fanlights.
