Location
Situated at E end of terrace of 22 houses on A 5 in centre of Bethesda.
History
Terrace house of c1830-40, part of an extensive curved terrace fronting onto the turnpike road to Holyhead. Terrace is slightly stepped and No 22 is part of a single block with the three houses to the right. The terrace appears to have been built in connection with Telford's road to Holyhead, to an urban scale remarkable in what was primarily a slate-quarrying settlement.
Exterior
Roughcast with slate roof and roughcast large end stack to left, and corniced slate stack, shared with No 21 to right. Three-storey, two-window range, hornless sashes, 9-pane to upper floor, 12-pane to first and ground floors, the ground floor windows larger. First and second floor sill-bands, ground floor slate sills. Four-panel door with overlight to right. Projecting stones on left corner indicate that terrace was to have been continued.
Reason for designation
One of several houses that retain original character in a fine late Georgian curved terrace of unusual scale.
