Regency House

Regency House is a house and shop dating from the early 19th century. It stands three storeys tall and features a timber frame with clapboarding on the front, showcasing deep horizontal joints, while the upper storeys have vertical joints that imitate ashlar. The roof is slate with a wide plain eaves overhang.

The building has five bays, with a central curved projection that includes bow windows on the upper two storeys. These bow windows consist of three adjoining small-paned sashes in flush frames. The first-storey sashes are particularly deep, rising from floor level and are complemented by a wrought-iron balcony and an ogee zinc canopy above. The original central window on the ground storey has been replaced by a later 19th-century canted bay shop window.

The two outer bays feature matching tripartite small-paned sash windows in flush frames, with diminished side-lights and segmental arches above the ground-storey windows. Each side of the central shop window has a recessed six-panelled door, with the top two panels glazed. These doors are adorned with semi-circular fanlights that have radiating and associated curved glazing bars, as well as semi-circular panelled linings and doorways supported by three-quarter partly fluted Doric columns, topped with an open triangular pediment. Above each doorway is an empty semi-circular niche with a semi-domed head.
