23, Ipswich Street

23 Ipswich Street is a shop and offices built in the mid-18th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. The building is rendered and colourwashed, likely with some timber-frame construction, and has a slate roof. It stands two storeys tall and features three bays. The late 19th-century plate-glass shopfront includes a central doorway, flanked by scrolled consoles. The soffit board has a dentil eaves detail. There is a side entrance to the right that previously led to upper floor accommodation, which is now used as offices and has a 20th-century two-panelled door. The first and second floors each have three late 19th-century 2/2 sash windows set into 18th-century flush frames, with an uneven distribution suggesting timber-frame construction. The building has a timber eaves cornice and a gabled roof. Inside, there are chamfered bridging beams on the ground and first floors, mostly boxed, and a spine beam on the first floor. No timber-frame is visible from the outside.
