Early C19. 3 storeys. Red brick. Symmetrical pair. One sash window with glazing bars each (but small barred bay on ground floor of no.7). 4-panel doors at outer ends, slightly displacing lower windows. Small wooden porches, perhaps original, with elliptical heads. Somewhat projecting flat eaves.

(Former listing description)

The following is from Cadw's Listed Buildings database

Nos 7-8 are a pair of early C19 houses (a datestone - probably re-sited - on the rear wing of No 7 is dated 1829); No 6 may be an earlier building, and is a single-celled shop, now disused.

Nos 7-8 are brick with slate roof. Axial stack, and side gable stack towards rear to left. 3 storeys, symmetrically planned with outer entrances, each a single window range. 4-panelled doors in shallow wooden porches with elliptical heads. 12-pane sash windows (in a canted bay window to ground floor of No 7) on each floor, 6-pane sashes in second storey. All windows have painted flat-arched heads. No 6 is a single storeyed building set back from No 7: timber framed and rubble, with slate roof, carried forward to form a covered yard, on turned wood posts. Single doorway and shop-window, closed by a panelled shutter.

A simple urban vernacular pair, together with an early shop building of considerable character.
