Description
These offices, located at 1, 3, and 5 Tamworth Street, were built around 1750 and again in the 19th century. The buildings are constructed of brick with ashlar and stucco dressings, featuring a hipped tile roof and a hipped slate roof to the 19th-century range. The design is in the Georgian style.
The building at number 3 is of three storeys and has a four-window range. It includes a plaster band above the first floor and a top cornice. A modern shop front in a traditional style runs along the left side and continues around the 19th-century range. The central right entrance has an architrave and overlight to a six-panel door; a similar entrance at the right end has a flat brick arch with a key above, likely originally to a window. The first and second floors have sill bands, with the first-floor sills bracketed. The windows on the first floor are four-pane sashes with rubbed brick flat arches and keys, while the windows on the second floor are six-pane sashes with rubbed brick flat arches and keys.
Number 1, also of three storeys, features a recessed curved angle with flanking windows. Sill bands and a top frieze with a modillioned cornice are visible, with a central key depicting a satyr mask. The shop front includes an entrance in the corner. The first floor has tripartite windows with pilasters, a frieze, and a cornice, featuring a 2:4:2-light sash arrangement flanking a curved window with a four-pane sash. The second floor has windows with two round-headed lights in ashlar surrounds with brattishing; the curved window in the corner is narrower. Decorative stacks and a rear gable stack are present, with enriched chimney pots.
Inside number 3, an open-well staircase is located to the rear right. It has a cut string, scrolled Rococo tread ends, turned balusters, panelled newels with moulded bases, and a ramped handrail. First-floor window shutters are also present. A room to the left has a richly moulded cornice that wraps around a beam.
