A gabled front has jetties to each floor with a small pent

scratch-moulded 9-panel door and 2 brackets to the jetty

INTERIOR: central open dogleg stair with uncut string, early
C18 column-on-vase balusters, column newels and a moulded
rail; a good first floor has pegged door frames, moulded
beams, one to rear room with chamfer stops with shallow relief
tulips. The front first-floor room has good plaster decoration
in 2 sections separated by a chamfered beam, with pointed
central quatrefoils and pomegranites, winged cherubs and
corner decoration, and a frieze of adorsal hounds and fruit.
Part of the medieval City wall is incorporated into the
structure of the back. Connected at ground and first floors
with No.35 (qv).
Plasterwork closely similar to that in the Llandoger Trow
(qv). Although conservative in design, No.33 prefigures C18
urban plan forms with the lateral stair, an arrangement
repeated at Nos 7 & 8, 16 and 18-20.
