Description

Danbert House, formerly an Employment Exchange, is a three-storey building with attics, featuring painted smooth render, painted quoins, and a banded ground floor. It has moulded architraves, some exposed bathstone dressings, and dormers. The slate roof has bracketed eaves cornices and brick chimneys.

The front facing Morfydd Street consists of three bays, with two attic gables, each containing a round-headed window. Between these gables is a bathstone dormer with paired windows beneath a pediment topped with an urn. The central bay has paired round-headed windows on each floor. The outer bays feature triple round-headed windows on the second floor, with two-storey splayed bays below, each having small-pane horned sash glazing.

To the left, there are two gables, each with a round-headed window, and round-headed windows on the second floor, along with shouldered-arched windows on the first floor, including stair windows. There is a flat-roofed ground floor extension.

To the right, the elevation is similar to the west side but includes a single-storey porch with steps leading up to an exposed bathstone entrance flanked by columns. Shouldered-arched windows are present on the side and rear. The rear elevation mirrors the style of the south side, with a pair of gables set to the left and a bathstone dormer to the right.

The house is set behind a low brick wall, with yellow brick on the west side featuring sea-worn limestone capping, and common brick on the south side with stone copings.
