8, Bore Street

No. 8 Bore Street is a house that has been converted into an office and shop, dating from around 1790. It is built of brick with ashlar dressings and features a parapeted double-gable roof with coped gables and brick end stacks. The building has a double-depth plan and is designed in the Georgian style, standing three storeys tall with a symmetrical three-window arrangement. It has a plinth and a top cornice with a blocking course. The entrance boasts a doorcase with an architrave, panelled pilasters, and a consoled cornice, topped with a segmental fanlight that has radial glazing bars above a six-fielded-panel door, with flanking inset boot scrapers. The windows are adorned with sills and have rubbed brick flat arches over twelve-pane sashes, while the second floor features six-pane sashes. The rear of the building is similar, with kneelers to the gables and a lean-to addition at the ground floor. Inside, there are window shutters, and the room to the right has a rich cornice.
