Grade II Listed house, now clearly a shop and flat. The listing informs us that it was probably 17th century and originally a small 2-unit house with storeyed central porch. The ground floor of the porch was removed and the upper storey then carried on cast-iron columns. A lean-to extension was added to one side of it to extend the shop frontage, probably in the mid-late 19th century. Clwyd-Powys Archaeological Trust undertook a recording project in December 2003 as part of renovation works and describe it as probably 16th century and one of the best preserved historic buildings in Welshpool. During the 17th-century a timber-framed rear wing was added at right-angles to the street front, with a lateral stone chimney along the west wall. The timber-framed porch is also likely to be 17th-century in date, although it may post-date the rear wing.
