Terraced house in street built up in 1830s, part of a group of 6 similar houses. No 16 was associated with the Royal Oak, later Berllan Brewery opposite, owned by the Morgans family from c1835, and by James Goulstone 1866, the brewery tenanted by J Lewis. The house was tenanted in 1835 by T Oakford printer, in 1841 by Ebenezer Thomas butcher, and in 1866 by R Lake stonemason and J Lewis, probably the brewer. It was still let in 2 parts in the 1890s. The 6 terraced houses are relatively large for the type, indication of the prosperity of the town, the decorative stucco work on No 16 looks of the later C19 .  

Terraced house of 2 storeys and 3 bays with slate gabled roof and flat eaves. Rebuilt brick end chimneys. Roughcast front with painted stucco dressings, long and short quoins, moulded plinth and dressings to openings. Late C19 cambered-headed plate-glass sashes in with pilaster sides and moulded cambered heads, moulded and fielded recessed door in ornate stucco doorcase of panelled pilasters with Ionic capitals, 2 lion masks in frieze above capitals and overscaled cornice.  

Interior not inspected.  

Included as a good example of a C19 terraced house retaining good detail including stucco work characteristic of the town.
