Description
Nos 12 and 12a is a former house that now serves as businesses with accommodation above. The building features stucco with a cornice and long-and-short quoins. The elevation facing the Bulwark has three storeys and seven bays, with sash windows set in moulded architraves. The second-floor windows have nine panes, while the others have twelve-pane sashes. On the ground floor, the central bay showcases a fine early 18th-century moulded wooden doorcase with fluted pilasters and a hood supported by carved enriched consoles, leading to an eight-panelled door. There are three windows to the left of the doorway and a modern shopfront to the right.
The roof of the rear range has two clusters of diagonal chimney stacks made of stone rubble, and there is a block with a hipped roof on the rear elevation, featuring overhanging eaves and sash windows. To the right, there is a two-storey southeast rear wing along Glamorgan Street, which has a steep slate roof and a tall chimney stack, with a single window on each floor. At the southeast end, there is a block at right angles; the gable of this wing facing Glamorgan Street has a rendered stack at the apex and windows at the northwest end of the gable, with a two-window elevation to the southeast.
Inside, the entrance hall has a fielded-panelled dado and moulded stop-chamfered ceiling beams, along with fielded panelled doors. The front ground floor room to the right features a fine enriched plaster ceiling from the early 18th century. The front ground floor room to the left has exposed beams, fielded panelled walls, shutters and doors, and a bolection moulded fireplace. At the rear of the entrance hall, there is a very fine 17th-century wooden staircase with turned balusters and elaborately carved newels. The upstairs chimney pieces date from the early to mid-17th century, featuring four-centred lintels and chamfers.
