A late C19 rendered front with eared and lugged architraves and bands in smooth render, and 4-pane sash windows, blank upper L. The doorway has a keyed round-headed architrave with replaced door and fanlight. On the L side of the railings, abutting No 10, is a stone pier with a moulded cap.
Interior
Reason for designation
11-19 Segontium Terrace is listed as an ambitious urban development prominently sited above Slate Quay. Notwithstanding some loss of its original unified design, the terrace contributes to the strong Georgian tradition in Caernarfon and documents the growing prosperity of the town in the early C19 in the wake of the development of Caernarfon as a major N Wales port. No 11 retains some C19 detail.
