The Hungry Caterpillar Cafe & Shop

The Hungry Caterpillar Cafe & Shop is a mid-19th century former warehouse that has been converted into a cafe and shop. It features a gable end facing the street and a long three-storey range extending back into the hillside. The main floors are constructed of brown rubble stone, while the attic is finished in grey stone, with purple Caerbwdy sandstone quoins at the gable end.

The gable end includes a ground floor that has a blocked board and a low, flattened arch with a keystone, where the jambs are rebated for warehouse doors. Above this, there is a blocked window set within a large 20th-century stone flattened-arch projection that supports a first-floor balcony. This balcony replaces an external staircase that had a similar arch, although both the arch and balcony have been rebuilt. The first floor features a glazed door with a painted brick head.

The loft area contains a large 20th-century nine-pane window with a timber lintel, along with a small square opening directly above it, which has a purple stone head. The long north side of the building faces a courtyard and has ten windows, with four-pane windows on both the first and second floors, each equipped with slate sills. The first-floor windows have painted brick heads.

On the ground floor, there are nine windows and an end door that leads to outside rubble steps to the first floor. The ground floor also includes a 20th-century mock Georgian bow window to the left, a door with a cambered brick head, followed by a 20th-century concrete framed garage opening, and the original cart-entry featuring a flattened-arched head with a keystone and rebated jambs. To the right, there is another door with a brick cambered head, a small window, and another similar door.
