Description
Wilsons the Grocers is a house with an added shop and stable block, dating from the 18th century for the house and the 19th century for the shop and stable. The building is constructed of colourwashed header bond brick and features an old plain tile roof. The original house is a three-bay, two-storey structure, with two additional bays added to the left for the shop and a three-bay single-storey stable.
The original house includes an 18th-century six-panel door and a rectangular fanlight set within an architrave that has a panelled reveal and a moulded cornice. There are five four-pane sash windows with rubbed brick arches. On the ground floor to the left, the early 19th-century shop front features a door that mimics the one on the left, with a cornice that continues over a large three-pane shop window, leading to a pilaster on the right. Above this, there is a similar four-pane sash window. The building has a dentilled cornice that is interrupted by the heads of the sash windows. The hipped roof has end stacks. The stable block is mostly blank, except for a single cast iron lozenge-pane casement window.
