Description
No. 24 New Street is a house that now serves as a chemist's shop with offices above. It was built in the late 18th century and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from coursed and roughly squared sandstone and features a slate roof. It has a double-depth plan with a rear wing to the left, standing three storeys above a cellar and comprising three bays.
The doorway on the right is framed by a timber doorcase with reeded Doric columns that have deep necking at the capitals, and it features a nine-panel door, with the top three panels being glazed. The shop front to the left is from the late 20th century. The upper windows all have projecting plain surrounds, with 12-pane sash windows on the first floor, a 9-pane sash window to the right on the second floor, and late 20th-century top-hung casements on the other two second-floor windows. Above the shop doorway, there is a pestle and mortar that dates from the early 19th century, which was relocated around 1988 from No. 23 Market Street. An axial chimney stack is located on the right side of the building.
