History

Circa 1880 villa, possibly including part of former west wing of John Nash's 1793-7 Cardigan Gaol. John Nash's wing, the former governor's house, had a pyramidal roof, similar to that of main block (Highbury Hotel) and was stone fronted, but it is possible that the facade (which is not recorded in photographs) survived with rebuilt gable ends, roof etc. There is some similarity between the eaves cornice and that on eaves of north side of Highbury Hotel. Stanley House was built for David Davies, wine and spirit merchant, donor of the Town Clock 1892.

Exterior

Stucco, 2 storeys and attic with slate roof and stone end stack. Three-window range with moulded eaves cornice. Two eaves dormers with arched small-paned sashes and bargeboarded gables. Main front has arched windows, broader to ground floor with marginal glazing bars, stucco hoodmoulds and painted slate sills. Arched centre door with traceried fanlight in 2-column timber porch with arched head and cornice. Two-panel door with arched panels. Stucco quoins.

Garden enclosed by rubble wall with slate coping and spearhead iron rails. Two stone gatepiers with cross-gabled caps. Pedestrian gate in iron at right.
