Description
Numbers 2, 3, and 4 Gaunt Buildings is a house that has been divided into shops on the ground floor and flats above. It was built in the early 19th century and extended on the ground floor with a shop front around 1900. The building is constructed of brick and has a slate roof.
The exterior features three storeys and a five-window range. The projecting shop fronts have been largely rebuilt in the late 20th century, but some iron brattishing from the earlier shop front development remains. The windows are 2-pane sash windows with flat-arched gauged brick heads above them, and the central first-floor window is set in a segmentally-arched recess. The rear elevation includes a central entrance that provides access to the upper floors, featuring a stone Doric architrave around the doorway and central windows above in a round-arched recess. There is also a small two-storeyed late 19th-century canted wing to the right, which has stone architraves to Venetian windows, although the ground floor windows are blocked.
Inside, there is a stair hall that features a stone spiral staircase with a cast-iron balustrade.
