Description

London House is a shop with two dwellings to the rear and above, dating from around 1830 and altered since. The building features an ashlar sandstone facade, with coursed, squared magnesian limestone on other parts, and a graduated slate roof. It has two storeys and an attic, with three bays. The shop front, dating from around 1900, includes a glazed central double door with a plain overlight, flanked by large shop windows that have slender mullions and transoms, and pilasters on either side topped with a dentilled cornice. To the right, there is an angled corner doorway with a later panelled door and a margin-glazed overlight in an ashlar surround, featuring a shaped and moulded canopy beneath a recessed panel.

On the first floor, bow windows project out over the shop front and have a continuous sill band, with sashes consisting of 4, 12, and 4 lights divided by plain stone mullions. There is also a blind central window with an eared architrave. Below a wooden cornice that forms a gutter, there is a plain frieze beneath stone dentils. The gable copings are present, and there is a cement-rendered end stack to the left, along with a central ashlar ridge stack. On the right return, there is a central doorway with a fanlight under an arch, complete with imposts and a keystone, and an iron lantern above. A casement window on the first floor has an arch similar to that of the door, and there is a partly-blocked attic window.
