Built in the early 1830s by Joseph Hansom and Edward Welch, architects of York, for the Baron Hill estate. It was built on the site of the former Bulkeley Arms shown on the 1829 town plan. The house is shown on the 1861 town plan with its added rear wing and rear range, originally another dwelling. In 1886 the shop in the lower storey was a confectioner's and the rear range was a joinery. By 1910 the shop was occupied by a boot dealer.
A late-Georgian style 3-storey 2-bay house and shop of limestone ashlar, slate roof with 2 added skylights, and end stone stacks, of which the L-hand has been reduced. The front has a replacement shop window with tripartite lintel and panelled apron (motifs also used by Hansom & Welch at Victoria Terrace, Beaumaris). A panelled door to the L is under a replacement overlight. At the L end is a boarded door and 4-pane overlight, leading to a through passage. In the middle storey are 12-pane hornless sashes and in the upper storey 9-pane hornless sashes.
The rubble-stone rear has, in the upper storey, 9-pane hornless sashes under brick segmental heads. In the middle storey is a single 12-pane sash window, to the L of which is a 2-storey brick rear wing. In the lower storey is a boarded door and 4-pane overlight to the passage, and bay window in the angle with the rear wing. The rear wing has a 12-pane hornless sash window in the lower storey and 2-light casement window above. A 1-storey link to a formerly separate 2½-storey dwelling has a boarded door and small-pane horizontal-sliding sash window. The rear dwelling is rubble stone with brick segmental-headed openings, and slate roof. Facing the yard it has a boarded door and small-pane horizontal-sliding sash window to the L. The main front is in the opposite elevation, where there is access from Rating Row. In the lower storey it has a boarded door to the R and 12-pane sash window. The middle storey has 16-pane sash windows to the centre and L and 2 replacement attic windows.
The house is entered from the passage, and has a panelled door, of which the original panels have been replaced by glazing, under a 4-pane overlight. The entrance hall has a late C19 floor of decorative tiles and a full-height open-well stair with plain balusters and turned newel. In the first-floor drawing room are panelled reveals.
The rear dwelling has a straight stair to the first floor and ladder stair to the attic, which retains a single C19 collar-beam truss.
Listed for its special architectural interest as an early C19 house of definite quality and character in a prominent position opposite the parish church, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Church Street.
