Description
This early 19th-century shop and warehouse was later used as shops and offices, and converted into three residential units and a shop in 2020. The building is constructed of flint and red brick laid in Flemish bond, with a slate roof. It is rectangular in plan, facing west onto the Market Place, with numbers 2 and 4 continuing east along Pit Lane.
The building is three storeys high, with a hipped roof to the west end and a gabled roof to the east end, featuring a central ridge chimney stack. A decorative dentilled eaves cornice runs along the top of the building, and all the window openings below the attic level have arched heads. The north elevation is four window bays wide. The attic floor has four casement windows. The first floor has four six-over-six pane sash windows, and the ground floor has four six-over-six pane sash windows, plus one eight-over-eight pane sash window. The shopfront facade on London Street was replaced in 2021, retaining the early 20th-century glazed white tile stall riser. The east elevation has one eight-over-eight pane sash window on the first floor, and a 20th-century two-light casement window on the attic floor.
Internally, two winder stairs remain, along with a beam in the front room featuring stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and a single brick lintelled fireplace.
