This building comprises numbers 16, 18, and 20 Regent Street, forming a group. It dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. The building is constructed of red brick with a Welsh slate roof, featuring a stepped central gable topped with a ball finial. An oval window is set into the gable end. A modern shop front is present. The first and second floor fronts feature continuous windows arranged as 2:3:2 lights, with a central shallow canted bay.
