Description
This is an early 19th-century house, now used as a shop and two flats. It has undergone alterations in the late 19th and late 20th centuries. The building is constructed of brick with a slate roof and gable end stacks. It is three storeys high, featuring a stone-coped parapet and four windows. The windows are glazing bar sashes with plastered wedge lintels and stone sills. The second floor mirrors the appearance of the first. The ground floor includes a carriage entrance in the left-hand corner, alongside two doors. A shop front is present to the right, characterized by pilasters, brackets, and a dentilled cornice. A central entrance within the shop front consists of a glazed door flanked by plate glass shop windows.
