Description

Quaintways Tea Shop is a house and shop that now operates as a restaurant, dating from the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of red brick, limestone rubble, and some render, with ashlar dressings. It features a half hipped pantile roof with a ridge stack. The structure is two storeys tall with a two-bay gable end facing the street.

At the front, there is a rubble plinth and a doorway to the right that has a small bracketed hood, a plain doorcase, a traceried fanlight, and a partially glazed door. The shop front, which is from the 18th century, includes a bowed glazing bar window with ornamental metalwork at the top. Above this, there are two plain sash windows with brick wedge lintels and painted raised ashlar keystones. The south wall is made of ironstone rubble and has a three-light plain sash window with a wooden lintel, as well as a three-light casement window with a wooden lintel above it.

There is an early 19th-century brick extension at the rear that projects slightly to the south. This extension features a doorway with a segmental head and a panelled door, along with various 19th and 20th-century windows that have wooden lintels.
