24, Front Street

This is a late 18th-century house, later converted to include a shop in the early 19th century. The front of the building is painted with incised render, and features a wooden shop front. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with Welsh slate, with a stone coping along the edges. The building is two storeys high and four bays wide. The shop, which occupies the first two bays, has two-light arcaded windows and a wide elliptical arch over the recessed entrance. Decorative features at the entrance include acanthus-leaf capitals on four slender pilasters, fruit decoration on brackets above the entrance, and lion-mask stops to the cornice. A half-glazed double door leads into the shop. Above the shop are two sash windows, and on the upper floor, a boarded door is located in the third bay, with further sash windows in the fourth bay; the lower window in that bay is set within a wider, blocked-up opening. All windows have projecting painted sills and splayed lintels. A corniced chimney is located at the right end. The interior of the shop retains an 18th-century boarded door at the rear. A flight of stone steps leads to a cellar, which has a blocked-up ground-level door at the rear.
