Brecon House

Nos. 7 and 9 Whitecross Street Rendered and painted, probably over brick, but No. 7 is lined out as ashlar while No. 9 is smooth rendered; Welsh slate roofs. Pair of double depth plan houses with dooorways on the outside of the pair. Two storeys, three windows each, narrow ones on the outside and paired wider ones in the centre. Quoins and floor bands. Roof hipped overall with one dormer to each 2 + 2 pane casements. The windows are mostly sashes, but see individua house descriptions. The rear elevation shows that each house has a hipped wing running back from the main street range. Variously altered windows. Large red brick stack set in the valley between the two rear wings.

Doorway with late C20 panelled door with integral fanlight, transom light, flat hood on shaped brackets. Windows are all plate glass sashes in unaltered openings except top floor ones which are 3 over 6 pane sashes with one 2 over 4. The rear elevation as a ground floor extension, C20 casement windows and a sloping topped dormer.

The narrow half bay to the right of the door holds the early C18 stair with straight flights, closed string, turned balusters, square newel, moulded handrail and dado panelling opposite. Other contemporary joinery includes dado panelling, a keyed archway in the hall and a shell head cupboard with shaped shelves; there are also 2-panel doors and early C18 floorboards. The interior has also been fairly altered at various times.
