Located in a block of buildings towards the centre of Clwyd Street.  

Commercial  

 

The building probably has C17 origins, though the street elevation was remodelled in the later C19 when a shop front was inserted in No 49. Early origins are indicated by the form of the building, by the position of the chimney, and by evidence for timber-framing recorded in the 1978 survey: this described a 2-unit, timber-framed interior, with tie-beam and collar trusses with windbraces, and two short timber-framed wings to rear.  

47 & 49 form a group. Two-window range of one-and-a-half storeys, rendered and lined on a plinth, under a slate roof; rendered stack offset slightly R of centre, set back behind ridge; quoins. To upper storey, wooden cross-windows under gabled half-dormers. No 47 has boarded door to through-passage to far L. Doorway to L of centre containing a mid-late C20 wooden door with narrow light, under a tall plain overlight. To R, 3-light transomed wooden window, with small-pane glazing above the transom.  

Interior not seen.  

Listed for its special interest as a C16-17 timber-framed building, though with later C19 exterior character. Group value with surrounding listed buildings in Clwyd Street.
