Description
House, now flats, two parallel ranges of differing character. Slate valley roof with 2 brick W end stacks. S front to Bridge Street painted rough rubble stone raised at eaves by some 9 courses of brick. Close eaved roof. Two storeys, 3-window range. First floor 9-pane sash to left, paired 4-pane sashes to centre and 12-pane sash to right. Ground floor has 12-pane sash each side with hacked-off remnant of cornices over, indicating that this front was once stuccoed and a pair of doors in centre in raised stucco surround with cambered arch, raised keystone and angle blocks. C20 doors with overlights. Two basement windows with brick walling splayed-in over, the left one a small-paned sash, the right one obscured. Rendered double-gabled left end wall to Quay Hill with surviving medieval detail to left gable only, the end-wall of the harbour front. This has a blocked pointed door to ground floor left with thin stones both to jambs and as voussoirs. First floor right has blocked door with arched head made up of 8 eroded sandstone blocks, 2 for base, 2 for jambs, 2 for imposts and 2 for the arch. The right gable, end-wall of the Bridge Street range has boarded ground floor window to left, window above with casement and top-light glazing and a narrow 2-pane sash in the gable. The 1977 list records that adjacent to the first floor blocked door was a late medieval 2-light window, already then covered over, but this may be erroneous. N front to the harbour, is 3-storey, 4-window, painted roughcast, with parapet. Four second-floor 12-pane horned sashes, first floor has 12-pane sashes to outer windows and 2 glazed doors to centre opening onto full width C20 balcony built out over 3 ground floor projections. Ground floor centre porch with arch-headed doorway and outer utility stores with board doors on inner walls and 12-pane sashes in original front wall each side of porch. All windows are later C20.
The N range is said to have a first floor room with a decorative plaster ceiling divided into 4 compartments with an oval design in each compartment. The S range said to have C17 plastered ceiling decoration in ground floor rooms (1977 list). The Tenby Museum has photographs of plaster ceiling and of a cellar arch
