Description

This is a late 18th century and early 19th century town house, originally comprising two undercrofts and a broad-fronted main building, now used as two shops at street level, one shop at Row level, and an office accessed from Godstall Lane. The entire visible structure was rebuilt in the early 19th century, with later 20th-century alterations.

The front is constructed of brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with a concealed roof. It has four storeys, featuring five windows on each of the third and fourth floors. Modern shop fronts at street level are of no architectural interest. The Row front is distinguished by early 20th-century cast-iron railings, rendered end piers, and two Tuscan columns near the centre. There are softwood stallboards, extending 2.2 meters from front to rear, and a granolithic surface to the Row walk. The Row-level shop front has a raised, margined, six-panel door, with three timber steps on the west side and two stone steps on the east side, both contained within timber cases featuring panelled pilasters, friezes, and cornices, flanking a five-light shop window with incised pilasters. A painted bressumer with a cornice runs across the Row top. The third-floor features a stone floor band and recessed sash windows with altered or removed glazing bars; the central sash has an architraved and entablature surround, while the two side sashes have wedge lintels. The fourth floor mirrors this arrangement, with five recessed 12-pane sashes, a central one in a surround with an architrave and cornice, and the flanking sashes having painted stone sills and wedge lintels. A full painted stone cornice is topped by a parapet course, with a central ridge chimney. An elaborate wrought-iron bracket is located on the east Row pier. A six-panel door provides access to the office from Godstall Lane.

Inside, the street and Row level surfaces are covered. The open-string, open-well staircase leading from Godstall Lane to the third and fourth storeys has shaped brackets, cast-iron balusters in alternating straight, moulded, and figure-of-eight designs, a swept rail with a wreath on a ring of balusters, and a curtail step. The stairwell retains original cornices and arched niches on each landing. Other internal features include skirtings, six-panel doors with margined panels, architraves, some cast-iron fireplaces, and potentially original cornices, all indicative of a relatively unaltered late Georgian interior.
