Description
22 Widemarsh Street is a former house, now a shop, dating from the early 18th century. The building is constructed of painted brick and features a hipped plain tile roof with a gable at the front, a central brick stack, and an additional stack to the right rear. It has a central staircase plan and stands three storeys high with an attic, displaying a five-window range. The windows are 2/2 sashes in moulded cases, set under gauged brick flat arches, with additional 2/2 sashes above. The central section, which has three windows, protrudes under the gable roof and includes a storey band and a pediment. The ground floor has 20th-century shop fronts with doorways on the central and right-hand sides.
At the right rear, there is a gable wing featuring a single 6/6 sash window under a segmental arch, brick modillion eaves, and a part-glazed door to the right with a plain overlight and rendered reveals, set in a brick pointed arch. To the left of this door is a 20th-century window under a segmental arch. The rear of the building includes a brick stack and a hipped gable to the left rear, which has a two-storey Gothick-glazed pointed arch.
Inside, the building features a late 18th-century open-well staircase with turned balusters and acorn finials on the turned newels, as well as a 19th-century winder stair leading to the second floor of the rear wing. The second floor includes a 19th-century fireplace and mantel, 18th-century two-panel doors, a bolection-moulded fireplace, a wall cupboard, and additional 19th-century doors. The first floor has a late 19th-century plank door, late 19th-century fireplaces, and various 18th-century features including a shouldered fire surround, two-panel doors, and a large Gothick-glazed window with a quatrefoil head at the rear. The ground floor is adorned with a late 18th-century ceiling cornice.
