History
The front was remodelled in the C19, but the building may have earlier origins associated with the adjacent medieval building of Porth. Late C20 alterations to windows. Now divided: No 67 is a house, No 69A is offices of the Farmers' Union, both 2-window.
Exterior
Long 4-window 2-storey range, roughcast under a slate roof, with brick stack L of centre (possibly shared with No 65). Raised shaped surrounds to openings; the upper windows are under gabled half-dormers with scalloped barge boards and finials. The rear is rendered, over rubble stone to ground floor and brick to 1st floor, with 2 small wooden lights to upper storey.
No 67 has a C20 panelled door under an overlight, offset slightly L of centre. The windows, flanking doorway and aligned above to upper storey, are C20 plain-glazed wooden sashes.
No 69A has an inset glazed door with sidelight to L. To R, a pair of tall late C20 wooden windows, 2-light with arched heads. Over ground floor, large fascia under a moulded cornice. Former 1st floor doorway to L infilled with a full-height 4-pane wooden window, the hoist still attached to the gable; to R, top-hung wooden window. Canted angle to NW with window to each storey.
Interior
Interior of 69A has one roughly hewn cross-beam and plain joists.
Reason for designation
Listed for its early origins, the front retaining definite C19 character, and for group value with 65 Clwyd Street.
