Description
This building, located at 103 London Street, is a house with a shopfront that was constructed in the early 19th century, with later 20th-century extensions added to the rear.
It is made of silver-grey brick headers with red-brick dressings and has a slate roof. The structure consists of three storeys plus a basement, with a rectangular shape that faces west onto London Street. The ground floor features an early 19th-century shopfront, which may be original, showcasing two bow windows flanking a central half-glazed and panelled doorway. Each bow window has twelve panes with glazing bars and is topped by a frieze and moulded cornice that extends above the door, supported by narrow pilaster strips. The bows rest on narrow iron brackets, and there are metal grilles covering the basement area below.
The first and second floors are constructed of grey header-bond brickwork, accented with red-brick quoins and window dressings. There are two bays of timber sash windows on both the first and second floors; the first-floor windows feature six-over-six glazing, while the second-floor windows have three-over-six glazing. Each window is topped with a gauged red brick lintel.
The building has a pitched roof with slopes oriented east-west, while the rear is obscured by the 20th-century single-storey extensions. Inside, there is a staircase with cast-iron baluster standards.
