Description
This building consists of three houses, now converted into flats, constructed in 1890 by William Owen. It features brick with stone dressings, stone chip roughcast on the first floor, timber-framed gables, and a hipped tile roof. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and has seven bays, with gabled first and seventh bays; the seventh bay has a jettied first floor. Notable architectural details include decorated bressumers and bargeboards, as well as two buttresses that pierce the eaves and end in dragon motifs.
On the ground floor, there is a double-chamfered-mullioned window with transoms and leaded glazing, primarily consisting of three lights with ovolo mullions. The first and seventh bays feature four-light canted bay windows, with the first bay extending to two storeys. The first floor has a central two-light mullioned window, accompanied by a similar gabled dormer. The flanking bays have four-light timber oriels with cusped heads, while the second and sixth bays contain three-light rectangular oriels. The first bay includes two windows of two lights, one of which is part of the canted bay, and the seventh bay has a four-light window.
In the attic, there are roof dormers in the second, third, fifth, and sixth bays, each with three lights; the inner dormers are gabled, while the outer ones have flat tops. The gables feature two-light windows. The entrances have Tudor heads and foliated spandrels, with the central entrance having a flat canopy and a flanking two-light window. The entrance to the first bay is set in a recess supported by a squat column beneath a bressumer. The building has three cross-axial stacks and projecting lateral stacks on the returns. The rear has been altered to provide access to the flats, resembling the front, and includes gables with stacks, brick quoins, and gauged-brick cambered arches over the windows, along with privies.
