On the west side of Pen-y-pound and one of the varied group of historic buildings on the main north-eastern access to Abergavenny.  

Domestic  

 

Early C19 and probably built together with the adjoining No. 6 (qv). The house is little altered externally.  

Roughcast rendered and painted with a natural slate roof. Double depth central entry plan. Two storeys, three windows. Six-panel door with flat hood on small brackets, and with wood architraves. Windows are plain 6 over 6 pane sashes, the upper floor ones are smaller. Low pitch roof with eaves on paired brackets hipped to right, stack to left ridge and right wall. Plain spike wrought iron railings on dwarf stone wall, double gates, are attached to either end of the main elevation. Rear elevation not inspected.  

Interior not inspected at resurvey, but it is said to have a straight flight stick baluster stair in the hall.  

Included for its special interest as a well preserved early C19 house, which has retained its character and has group value with the other listed buildings in Pen-y-pound.
