Description
13 and 14 Gun Street are a pair of houses, likely built in the 18th century, which were combined around 1879 and converted for commercial use.
The buildings feature a stuccoed front facing Gun Street above a timber shopfront, while the rear elevation of number 13, located to the west, is rendered. The roofs are covered with a mix of plain tiles and slate. At the back, the outbuildings are constructed of red brick laid in Flemish bond, topped with plain-tiled roofs.
The structure is two storeys high, with roofs set behind a parapet. Number 13 has an attic storey beneath a mansard roof, while number 14 has a lower, hipped roof. There are two chimney stacks located in the party wall between the two houses.
On the exterior, the ground-floor shopfront features a central recessed doorway with modern glazed doors, flanked by large plate-glass shop windows that have slender timber mullions and low stall risers. Console brackets support a narrow projecting cornice above a long fascia board. To the west, there is a six-panelled door with a painted-over rectangular fanlight.
The first floor includes two one-over-one timber sash windows with stucco architraves, topped by a stucco parapet cornice. A flat-roofed, two-storey block connects the rear of the buildings to the later outbuildings, which also have hipped roofs and roof lights.
