Description

14 Eastgate Street and 14 Eastgate Row South is a late 19th-century building constructed in a Vernacular Revival style, on the site of a previous townhouse. It incorporates an undercroft shop and a Row shop, with associated accommodation or storage above. In the early 20th century, the undercroft was occupied by an ironmonger and the Row shop by a tailor; in 2022, they housed separate retail outlets, with the Row shop extending into the upper floors. The building is timber-framed with plaster panels, and has a grey-slate roof set at a right angle to the front elevation.

The structure is three storeys, appearing as four, including an undercroft and Row, plus attics. The undercroft, at street level, has a modern shopfront featuring stone end-piers that have been plastered and painted.

The Row level has a front rail with timber posts and turned balusters, a covered sloping stallboard measuring 1.8 metres from front to back, and a tiled Row walkway. It has a late 20th-century shopfront and a plaster ceiling to the stallboard and Row.

The third storey has two canted oriel windows carried on timber-framed coving. These windows have five mullioned and transomed leaded lights, with concave side-lights. Between the oriels are four panels of close-studding, with a mid-rail at head level, and 20 shaped panels above. This is followed by two short fourth-storey oriel windows with two leaded lights.

The attic has a jettied front gable supported by three shaped brackets, featuring a row of 10 quatrefoil panels. It also includes a pair of two-light leaded casement windows, herringbone struts, moulded bargeboards, and a curtailed drop finial.

The undercroft shop, accessed by three steps, is lined. The Row level and third storey are now combined into one shop, having been altered, likely superficially, but retain the form of an open-gallery hall with a two-storey pediment-on-pilasters feature against the west wall. The fourth and attic storeys contain door architraves, some mouldings, and rear sash windows.
