Description
35A Stonegate is a former house, now a shop, dating from around 1700 with a later 18th-century extension that was altered in the early 19th century. The shopfront was added in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of orange brick in Flemish bond, featuring a timber shopfront and cornice, with window arches made of white gauged brick. It has a pantile roof with brick stacks.
The exterior showcases a three-storey, three-window front. The full-width shopfront is framed by plain pilasters with moulded imposts and a cornice on carved brackets. It includes a three-light window with moulded mullions and a transom, a recessed glazed shop door to the left, and a four-panel passage door with an overlight to the right. The overlight advertises "J W Knowles/ Stained Glass/ Leaded Lights/ Decorations." The first and second floor windows are four-pane sashes, with the first-floor windows lengthened and featuring renewed painted stone sills, while the second-floor windows retain their original moulded sills. A moulded and modillioned cornice completes the exterior.
Inside, the ground floor front part of the shop has one wall panelled to full height with raised panelling, while the other is panelled below a moulded dado rail. An elliptical arch on paired pilasters with acanthus capitals leads to the rear extension. A door in the back wall features a radial fanlight in a round-arched doorcase with pilasters and capitals enriched with composition mouldings. The first floor includes a staircase with close strings, bulbous balusters, square newels, and a plain handrail, though the lowest flights have been removed. The front room has a moulded cornice, and the timber-framed cross wall of No.35 is exposed. On the second floor, the front room has a corner fireplace, while the rear room features a fireplace in a plain stone surround.
Historically, from 1762 to 1837, the building served as Todd's Book and Print Warehouse, which was illustrated in 1797 by Henry Cave.
