39, 39A And 40, Greengate Street

39, 39A, and 40 Greengate Street are two houses that have been converted into a shop and office. They were built in the mid-18th century, with early 19th-century and later alterations. The buildings are constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and feature a tiled roof with a coped gable and brick end and cross-axial stack, showcasing an early Georgian style.

The exterior consists of two storeys with an attic and a nine-window range. There is a platt band above the ground floor and a top cornice, with quoins at the corners. The front has two early 20th-century shopfronts, and the entrance on the right side features an early 19th-century doorcase with an archivolt, pilaster strips, a frieze, and a pediment, along with a fanlight above a six-panel door. The first floor has windows with rubbed brick flat arches and ashlar keys over nine-over-six pane sashes in moulded frames. To the left, there are five windows, while to the right, four windows have two-panel horned sashes. The third window from each end has an eared and shouldered architrave with a key and a moulded sill on blocks. There are also four pedimented dormers with small-paned casements. The first floor features two rainwater heads with cherubs in round arches and square downspouts.

At the rear, there is a gabled wing and an early 19th-century gabled range to the left, which has two gables with windows in architraves, friezes, and pediments. The return side has windows with small-paned casements and intersecting glazing bars.

Inside, the building features detailing from the 1820s, including a staircase with slender balusters and a wreathed handrail. A room at the rear has a rich plaster cornice and a marble fireplace, along with two lamp brackets in the first-floor corridor. The left end has an early 18th-century open well stair leading to the first floor, with spiral balusters, a moulded and ramped handrail, a cut string with moulded tread ends, and bolection-moulded dado panelling. There are three contemporary six-fielded-panel doors. Originally, the ground floor had two entrances with eared architraves, and there are signs of keys to the windows.
