Description

Alexandra House, also known as Orchard Brothers, is a shop and house built around 1865. It was purpose-built as a grocer's shop with adjoining living accommodation. The building features polychrome brickwork, combining yellow brick with red brick dressings. The roof is partly covered with slate and partly with modern pantiles, and it has a brick eaves cornice.

This two-storey building is roughly triangular in shape. The corner section has four sash windows with triangular tops and an original six-bay shopfront that includes pilasters and two arches. The elevation facing Victoria Road has six triangular-headed windows and the original shopfront. Alexandra House features a four-panelled door and an integral extension with six sash windows and one cambered sash window on the ground floor. Bedbury Lane has four windows and a shopfront adorned with a floral motif. The building is noted for being an unaltered example of a High Victorian shop.
