Exterior

Exterior: c1830 symmetrical terrace of two 3-storey, 3-bay houses, expressed as a reflected pair. Ashlar facade with continuous shallow-pitched slate roof and plain, rendered end chimneys. A further, central stack marks the division between the two houses which is disguised on the facade by an advanced gabled bay with blind windows. Melbourne House (to the R) retains its original, slightly-recessed sash windows; 12-pane to the ground floor, 9-pane to the first and 6-pane to the upper floor. These have narrow stucco architraves and projecting slate cills. Those to Ty'r Banc are modern replacement windows of 15, 12 and 6 panes respectively. Slate steps to C19 4-panelled door to Melbourne House, with decorative rectangular fan above. Out-of -character modern glazed door to Ty'r Banc. Two modern basement windows to both houses except for an original 6-pane window to Ty'r Banc. To the R of Melbourne House a narrow passage leads to a boarded cellar door diagonally beneath its right-hand window.

Adjoining Ty'r Banc to the L a late C19 open stone porch supported on Doric columns; plain entablature with inscription `Bank' in raised letters and moulded cornice. Stone steps up to 4-panel contemporary door with flanking engaged columns. Coped, dwarf step parapet to the R, this missing to L. Adjoining this and connecting the porch to Meirion House, a high, rough-dressed, snecked rubble wall with central entrance; modern boarded door gives access to an alley.
