Description
No. 48 Berwick Street is a terrace house from the early 18th century that has been altered. It is constructed of brown brick and has a slate roof, standing three storeys tall and three windows wide. The ground floor features a later 20th-century shop front. The upper floors have recessed sash windows without glazing bars, set beneath flat gauged arches. The building has a parapet with coping. There is a shared lead rainwater head with No. 47, likely from the late 18th century. Inside, original features include an intact cornice in the former parlour on the ground floor and a staircase with a closed string that is boxed in.
