Description

Frittenden Stores and Manchester House is a shop and house built in the early 19th century. It features tile hanging on a painted brick base and has a plain tiled roof. This corner building is part of a block that includes the Bell and Jorrocks Public House, with its front elevation designed to continue the facade of that pub. The structure has two storeys, a hipped roof, and a chimney stack on the right.

On the first floor, there is a single sash window with vertical glazing bars, while the ground floor has a projecting early 20th-century shop front with plate glass windows, a valanced cornice, and a recessed central glazed window. The left side of the building includes tile hanging, partly with fish scale tiles. The return elevations of the Stores and the adjoining Manchester House are treated as a single elevation, also two storeys with a basement and a hipped roof.

The left side features a large tripartite sash window, three glazing bar sashes on the first floor, and a central sash window on the ground floor. There is a six-panel door to the centre left, topped with a rectangular fanlight and a moulded cornice on enriched consoles, leading up a flight of three steps with a half-landing and simple iron railings. To the left, there is a boarded door at a lower level, also with a rectangular fanlight and sidelights. Two basement openings are located at the centre, and there is a boarded gate with a rectangular fanlight leading to a passage on the left. Although Manchester House is structurally similar to the Stores, it faces the street and is cross-referenced in the listing under The Street.
