History
Lead flashing in the roof is said to have been inscribed 1837, which is the approximate date of the house. It was certainly built in the period 1834-52 and is first shown on the 1852 town plan.
Exterior
A late-Georgian style house; 2 storeys with attic and basement, symmetrical, 3-bay plan. Roughcast front and hipped graded slate roof on wide panelled and bracketed eaves, with rendered end stacks and added skylight to the L roof slope. The central doorway has double half-lit panelled doors with margin glazing, in an architrave with cornice on consoles. Windows are in moulded architraves. The outer bays have 15-pane hornless sashes under hood moulds to ground floor; the upper storey has 12-pane hornless sashes. Set back on the L side is a round-headed doorway in a wall screening off the garden. On the R side are boarded garage doors.
The symmetrical and rendered rear elevation to the garden has 12-pane horned sashes in the upper storey, 15-pane hornless sash windows R and L in the lower storey, and central half-lit door under an ironwork radial-glazed overlight. The basement has sash windows to the R and L.
Interior
The original layout plan of the house has been retained, with the principal rooms on the ground floor and kitchen in the basement. An entrance vestibule has a panelled door to the stair hall. This has a full-height open-well stair with wreathed hand rail, plain balusters and moulded tread ends. The rooms to the R and L have slate chimneypieces to cast iron fireplaces with decorative tile panels. Panelled doors are retained, which incorporate thin vertical ribs. In the basement is a late C19 cast iron range by R Williams of Caernarfon.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-preserved early C19 house retaining strong architectural character and original detail, and for its contribution to Wellington Terrace, a fine suburban development representing the rising prosperity of Caernarfon consequent upon the growth of its port.
