E Smith General Stores

E Smith General Stores is a house and shop located on Church Street in Stilton. It dates from the early 18th century, with early and later 19th-century alterations. The building is constructed of yellow and red local brick and features a plain tiled roof with parapet gables and end stacks. Originally two storeys, it has been raised to three storeys and includes an attic with a rear outshut. The shop was altered in the mid to late 19th century.

The central house doorway has a four-panelled door and a rectangular fanlight with margin glazing bars. To the right, there are double glazed shop doors that are recessed, leading to flat-roofed segmental plan shop windows with original glazing bars, a plain frieze, and a cornice that displays "E SMITH" in standing letters above.

Inside, there is an early 19th-century plastered ceiling with roundels and quarters in the corners, an 18th-century cornice, and a 19th-century staircase in the outshut. The interior also features 18th-century raised and fielded panelled doors, along with 19th-century four-panelled doors. The house is noted to have been occupied by a French general who employed French plasterers.
