The upper storey has 3 similar 2-light windows.

Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as an early C19 terraced house retaining definite original character and detail, and for its contribution with other buildings in Corbet Square, Red Lion Street and Maengwyn Street, to the historical integrity of the old town centre.
