24 And 25, Baxter Gate

Nos 24 and 25 Baxter Gate are a pair of houses, now used as shops and offices, built in 1754 by master carpenter William Pikard. They feature red brick construction with stone and gauged brick dressings, with No 24 being colourwashed. The buildings are three storeys tall and have three bays each, topped with slate roofs. Both houses have full-width 20th-century shop fronts on the ground floor and first-floor ashlar sill bands.

No 25, on the right, has three full-height first-floor 12-pane sash windows and three 6-pane sash windows above, all with projecting sills and set beneath flat gauged brick arches. No 24 has three tall first-floor 20th-century casement windows and three similar 2-light windows above, all in openings similar to those of No 25. A dentilled stone cornice runs across both houses, and there are moulded stone copings on the end gables, supported by moulded stone kneelers, with a central shared brick ridge stack.
