Description

No. 110 Foregate Street is a town house that has been converted into a shop and storage space. It likely dates back to the 17th century but was refurbished in the early 20th century. The front features timber framing with plaster panels, while the rear wall is not visible. The roof is covered with small grey slates, with the ridge running parallel to the front.

The exterior consists of three storeys, now presented as three narrow bays. The front displays classical features that were probably added between 1900 and 1910. The shopfront includes four pilasters, with an entrance on the right that has a door featuring one pane above two fielded panels, flanked by sidelights with fielded sub-panels and a simple overlight. There are rendered aprons beneath two shop windows and a timber fascia with a modillion cornice.

The upper storeys are close-studded, with only one cross-rail at the attic floor level. Four planted timber pilasters extend from the fascia cornice to the eaves. The tall first floor has an unpierced central bay and features a flush casement with two 6-pane lights in a pedimented case, which stands proud of the wall face on each side bay. The short attic storey has a 9-pane circular central window that breaks the cross-rail, with a moulded timber string above the cross-window that curves above the window. The eaves are adorned with a modillion cornice.

The interior was not inspected, but the facade suggests there may be interesting characteristics in the upper storeys. The building was vacant at the time of the survey in April 1992.
