18, South Street

No. 18 South Street is an early 19th-century house and shop, featuring a mid 19th-century shopfront. The street-facing side is rendered with pebbledash above, while the ground floor on the northwestern side is made of pebbles with red brick quoins. The rest of the building is constructed of brick and has a hipped roof, which was originally tiled, and a truncated brick chimneystack. The building has a rectangular plan with a narrow street frontage, containing three rooms on each floor and a rear staircase.

The exterior features a rendered ground floor and pebbledashed upper floor. The upper level has a marginally-glazed sash window with a moulded architrave, while the ground floor showcases a mid 19th-century canted bay shopfront with a left-side doorcase, featuring four glazed panels at the top, two panels below, and a plinth. The northwestern elevation displays a dentilled eaves cornice and two sliding casements on the first floor, with the ground floor having two blocked doorcases and a sliding casement. The southeastern wall is made of 20th-century red and yellow brick, which was the end wall of a now-demolished adjoining property.

Inside, the ground floor front room contains a reused beam with run-out stops. The central room features an 1820s or 1830s wooden fireplace with reeded architraves and paterae, along with a reeded dado rail, partially overlaid with later plank panelling and remnants of wooden shelving. The rear room, likely the original kitchen, retains a brick floor, a fireplace with a cambered head, and a wooden plank partition leading to a 19th-century winder staircase. Four-panelled doors are reported to be present on the upper floor.

This building is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. It was likely built as a house, with the shopfront added later, and it retains several original internal features while being part of a group of listed buildings.
