Description

Drayton Place is a house, formerly a house and shop, built around 1820. It features dressed limestone with ashlar and freestone dressings, while the rear elevation is made of brick. The low-pitched pyramidal roof is covered with Welsh slate and has a brick stack at the rear. The building is three storeys tall and includes a cellar, with a square plan and the main facade and shop entrance facing north.

The former shop has a central doorway that is sealed, with a patterned rectangular fanlight above it, accessed by stone steps. There are two large windows that originally had small panes, and the common entablature is enhanced by a deeply moulded wooden cornice. On the first floor, there are three recessed sixteen-paned hung sash windows, each with flat stone arches, flush key stones, and stone cills. The second floor has three similar windows, but with twelve panes each.

There is a west entrance to the house featuring a six-flush-panelled door and a rectangular fanlight, also approached by stone steps. It is possible that the house was built for Thomas Smith, a grocer, in 1828.
