Description
This is a house, likely dating from around 1600, that has been converted into two shops. It has undergone several alterations and additions, including a late 18th-century refronting and a late 19th-century shop front on the left side, with a mid-to-late 20th-century shop front to the right. The front facade is timber-framed and faced with reddish-orange brick in a Flemish bond pattern, with pinkish-brown brick used on the returns. The front section has a slate roof, while the rear has cement tiles. Brick stacks with overhanging courses and decorative pots are at the ends of the building.
The building follows a double-depth plan with a double-pitched roof. The front elevation is three stories high with two windows on the first floor. The first floor contains six-over-six sash windows in plain reveals, with sills, flat channelled arches, and keystones, as well as visible tie rod ends. The second floor has smaller six-over-six sash windows in similar style with flat lintels. A low, coped parapet tops the front.
The shop front on the left has a panelled apron, fluted pilasters with outer corbels, and a frieze that originally read "Baker and Confectioner." It features plate-glass windows with rounded upper corners and slender pilasters incorporating carved decoration in the spandrels, along with a continuous overlight with lozenge glazing bars. A part-glazed door with an overlight sits slightly off-centre to the right. The shop front on the right is more modern with plate-glass windows.
The rear of the building retains a tripartite window with six-over-six sashes between two two-over-two sashes.
The interior is reported to contain wattle and daub, although timber framing is now mostly concealed within internal walls. The shop front to the right occupies what was formerly a carriageway providing access to the rear of the property.
