This is an early 19th century shop and offices. The building is timber-framed and rendered, with a gabled roof covered in plain tiles. The front elevation features a plain parapet and a moulded plaster cornice. On the first floor are two double-hung sash windows, each with a moulded surround and a single central vertical glazing bar. The ground floor has a 19th-century shopfront, including a fascia, consoles, and enclosing panelled pilasters. A pair of these pilasters frame a separate door, which leads to the first floor and features a rectangular fanlight.
