At least in part timber-framed, and perhaps seventeenth century but considerably altered. Two storeys, with pebble-dashed walls under a slate roof. Three modern windows, right hand in No 7, which forms projecting gable wing. Shops with modern openings on ground floor, vehicular opening on left of No 5, in same lower roof range as No 3. No 5 has very heavy, crudely chamfered ceiling beams. The jettied front corner of upper storey projects inside ground storey of No 7, over curved bracket. No 7 said to have wattle partitions. Irregular, low, two one-and-a-half and one-storey wing extends from rear of gable wing, eighteenth century or earlier, probably being the former Pen y Bont tannery, recorded back to 1706.
