Description

The building is constructed of brick with buff terracotta dressings and has a tiled roof with a brick stack. It is designed in the Northern Renaissance style and has three storeys with a two-window range. The first floor includes sill and lintel courses, while the second floor has a sill course and a coped shaped gable. The ground floor features banded piers, a bracketed entablature, and end finials supporting an inserted 20th-century shop front. The first floor has canted oriels with transomed windows consisting of 1:2:1 segmental-headed lights, adorned with cartouches at the scrolled bases and weathered heads in rubbed brick trefoil-headed recesses. The second floor contains three-light windows with king mullions flanking a panel with a dated cartouche, all beneath a cornice with a central pediment and an elliptical-headed recess, which includes some terracotta voussoirs and a pinnacle. The stack has terracotta quoins. This building is included for its group value.
