Breese House Hewkes House the Drapers

Breese House, The Drapers, and Hewkes House is a house that has been converted into a flat, shop, and house, dating from around 1840, with an earlier core and late 19th-century additions. The building is constructed of red brick with slate and pantiled roofs and features an 'L'-shaped plan, two storeys, and attics with rear lean-to additions.

The north-south wing has a late 19th-century double shop front that projects from the facade, featuring windows with glazing bars and a central half-glazed door with a fanlight. To the right is the house section, which has three windows on the first floor and a door below with a semi-circular traceried fanlight, fluted columns, and an entablature. The sash windows have glazing bars and flat gauged brick arches.

On the north elevation, there is a three-light shop window with Gothic mullions, broken semi-circular arched heads, and a panelled surround, all set within two blank brick panels with semi-circular arches. Above, there are two semi-circular arches, with the left containing a sash window with glazing bars. The rear of the building has scattered 20th-century fenestration, a catslide roof, and a wedge dormer. The building has axial and internal stacks, and the roof is hipped.

The east-west wing, dating from around 1870, features six bays of sash windows with glazing bars and flat gauged brick arches. There is an inserted 20th-century door to the left, and double panelled doors lead to the yard under a semi-circular gauged brick arch. The entrance door is a six-panel part-glazed door with a semi-circular fanlight featuring 'Y' tracery, set under a double reveal gauged brick arch. The east-west wing is included for its group value.
