A roughcast front with a moulded eaves cornice. The doorway is within an added round-headed boarded wooden porch with double doors. Windows are in original moulded architraves, with keystones in the lower and middle storeys. In the lower storey is a sash window boarded up.

Reasons for Listing

11-19 Segontium Terrace is listed as an ambitious urban development prominently sited above Slate Quay. Notwithstanding some loss of its original unified design, the terrace contributes to the strong Georgian tradition in Caernarfon and documents the growing prosperity of the town in the early C19 in the wake of the development of Caernarfon as a major N Wales port. No 16 retains good C19 detail.
