Description

6 Eastgate Street and 4 Eastgate Row South is an undercroft, Row, and townhouse, likely rebuilt in the 1830s. The undercroft and Row are currently used as shops, while the upper floors serve residential and office purposes as of 2024. The building is made of red sandstone and brown brick, topped with a hipped grey-slate roof that has its ridge oriented perpendicular to the front.

The structure consists of four storeys, including the undercroft and Row. At street level, the undercroft features a modern shopfront, and there are seven repaired sandstone steps leading up to the Row walkway.

The Row is adorned with an ornate cast-iron front railing and a sloping raised timber boarded stallboard that measures 1.6 meters from front to back. The walkway is also boarded and has a plaster ceiling with exposed joists, along with a modern shopfront. Two red sandstone end piers rise from street level to Row level, with classical capitals that support coved stone brackets for the bressumer above. The bressumer at the Row top is covered.

On the third storey, there are a pair of square Edwardian four-light oriel windows featuring patterned leaded-glazing above transoms and cornices, separated by a three-centred arch with decorated spandrels, all crafted from painted timber.

The fourth storey includes two casement windows with four lights, complete with painted-stone sills and lintels. Above a moulded stringcourse, there are two courses of painted brick, a moulded cornice, and a parapet of painted brick. A lateral chimney is located to the east.

Inside, the shops at the undercroft and Row levels have been lined.
