Description

This building, known as 105 Westgate and the flats 6-8 at the rear of 97 Westgate, is a townhouse from the early 19th century that was converted into a shop on the ground floor by the 1840s. As of 2022, it operates as a shop with accommodation above.

The materials used include stucco with incised lines that imitate ashlar, a stone slate roof, and brick chimney stacks. The front range features a central entrance and a carriage archway to the left, providing access to the rear. The shop occupies the ground floor on the west side, while the principal reception room of the townhouse is located on the first floor. A wing extends to the rear of the building.

On the Westgate elevation, the structure has three bays and three storeys. The carriage entrance is topped with a timber lintel. The shopfront is styled in a broadly late 19th or early 20th-century manner but has been updated with new joinery. Above the shopfront, the first floor features a shallow canted oriel window that spans the center and right-hand bays, consisting of three sash windows framed by Doric columns, which support a muted frieze and dentil cornice. A blocking course is present above, topped with modern metal balcony railings at the second-floor level. To the left of the canted oriel, there is a matching six-over-six pane hornless sash window with a projecting stone sill. The three second-floor windows are similar but shorter, featuring three-over-six pane windows. Although these sash windows appear to be renewed, they maintain an early 19th-century style. The eaves of the roof have a projecting cornice supported by simply-shaped modillions, and a single brick chimney rises between the two left-hand bays.

At the rear, the projecting wing is also finished in stucco with incised lines and generally features replacement hornless sash windows with glazing bars similar to those on the front elevation. This section is also three storeys tall but consists of two relatively broad bays. It includes a tall, round-headed stair window with glazing bars, located at first-floor level against the rear wall of the front range and overlooking the carriage through-passage. The roof has a single end stack with three chimney pots.
