Description
No 26 is a house with a shop, dating from the early 18th century, with a late 19th-century shopfront. It features red and blue brick construction, with some weatherboarding at the rear, and has a steep old red tile half-hipped gambrel roof. The building is two storeys tall with attics and is three windows wide, forming a large L-shaped structure that includes a carriageway at the northern end and a projecting northeast rear wing. There is also a single-storey range of outhouses made of weatherboarding, tile, brick, and slate.
The front of the building has a regular arrangement with three two-light casement box dormers set behind a brick parapet, which is above a corbelled eaves band. Below, there are three slightly recessed box sash windows with six-over-six panes, each topped with deep red brick rubbed segmental arches. The shopfront includes a fascia and a central door, while the left-hand side has a heavy frame around a square-headed carriageway. A large axial chimney is located on the south side of the carriageway, positioned at the rear of the roof ridge, along with a corner fireplace and a smaller chimney at the southeast. There is also a rear dormer in the upper part of the roof on the southeast side.
