3 The Borough

Late-C18 house and shop, altered in the early-mid-C20.

MATERIALS: constructed of brick in a Flemish bond with slate roof.

PLAN: the building is a single bay with its principal elevation facing west. A single storey C20 extension projects to the rear

EXTERIOR: the building is slender at only one bay wide and tall with three stories and basement. There is a single six-over-six sash with slender glazing bars on the first and second floors, just to the left of the centre of the building. The windows have stone sills and flat arches above with keystones. The shopfront is a later replacement.

INTERIOR: the ground floor shop extends beyond the original footprint of the building into the C20 single-storey extension with large lantern. The first-floor room is accessed via a dog-leg stair, which is a C20 replacement, and retains a late-C18 fireplace at its northern end. There is a further single cell room on the second floor.

The building has a brick-vaulted basement with a small section of inbuilt shelving for storage.
