25 Carter Gate

25 Carter Gate is a former dwelling dating from the early 18th century, with minor alterations from the 19th century. It was converted for use as a shop in the 20th century, which included an extension to the rear.

The front elevation is made of exposed brick laid in Flemish bond, with later infill in stretcher bond, and features a rendered plat band and quoins. The southern gable is rendered in concrete and topped with a pantile roof. Originally designed as a two-pile house, it has been significantly extended at the rear with flat-roofed 20th-century additions that now serve as part of the retail space, storage, and delivery facilities.

The building stands three storeys tall, including an attic. The southern edge of the front elevation has a projecting stub made of fine red brick with rendered quoins, likely a remnant of a previously attached building. The ground floor has a bricked-up shop front that now serves as the main entrance, featuring a door of plate glass and timber beneath a segmental brick arch. To the south, there is a large four-pane window beneath a timber 20th-century fascia, next to a six-panel door with moulded jambs beneath a flat arch with soldier coursing. The upper storeys are used for commercial purposes, and a plat band runs between the ground and first floors across the front elevation. The first floor has four six-over-six sash windows with flat arches of soldier coursing, alternating between two headers and full-length bricks. The attic storey features three monopitched dormers with six-over-six windows. Wooden eaves are present beneath a wooden gutter supported by brackets. The front elevation also displays six pattress plates, consisting of three bullseyes and three s-plates. A single stack is located on the southern gable end above a coped gable.
