1-5 De Lunn Buildings

Nos. 1-5 De Lunn Buildings is a range of shops with flats above, built in 1884 by Thomas Stopher of Winchester. The building is constructed of red brick with stone shop fronts, tile-hung gables, timber and iron balconies, and a clay plain tile roof featuring stuccoed coved eaves cornice. There are brick chimneys at the rear.

The structure consists of five shops arranged in a large range with a curved front, where the south shop is double-fronted with a central entrance on the corner. It is designed in a Late Victorian Domestic Revival or Old English style.

The exterior has three storeys and five bays with a curved front, with the right-hand bay projecting. The projecting stone shops are adorned with debased Classical pilasters and entablatures that support balconies with continuous iron balustrades and large canted first-floor bay windows. The second-floor windows also have balconies on large wooden brackets with iron balustrades and slender turned wooden posts, which carry large tile-hung gables that project from the main roof. The projecting right-hand bays are treated differently, lacking a first-floor balcony, and the second-floor balconies are paired under smaller gables. This design is repeated on the right-hand return, featuring splayed corners with colonnettes supporting large moulded corbels. The right-hand corner includes a small semi-circular corbelled balcony carried on a mask forming a moulded four-centred arch above a pilastered doorway. The rear elevation is plain red brick.

The building is a good example of an elaborately designed late Victorian range of shops with flats above, retaining most of its original features.
