Description
32 Front Street is a house that was originally built in the mid-18th century and later adapted into a shop and house, with further alterations in the 20th century. The exterior features roughcast render that is partly damaged, exposing thin coursed rubble, along with painted ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with concrete tiles and has stone gable coping and brick chimneys.
The building has three storeys and three windows. The central entrance has renewed doors with plain overlights, framed in painted plain surrounds. A prominent hood supported by moulded stone brackets covers the central door. To the left, there is a door in the shop front, which has a bracketed cornice on plain pilasters leading to the door and a wide window, with a common central pilaster and a rendered stall riser. A renewed shop sash window with vertical glazing bars is also located to the left. The other windows are late 20th-century pivoting lights set in painted stone architraves, with the second-floor windows being smaller. The roof features swept eaves and narrow stone gable coping on the right, supported by a small moulded kneeler. The right end chimney has been truncated, while the left chimney is shared with No. 31.
