Description
No. 20 Sheep Street is a shop and dwelling that dates from the 18th century, with possible earlier elements, and has been extended in the 20th century. The building features rendered walls, which may be timber framed, and has a Welsh-slate roof with a rendered gable stack. It consists of a main range and rear wings, standing three storeys tall. The front has two windows, with 12-pane and 9-pane wood-architraved sashes on the first and second floors, and a small moulded eaves cove. The ground floor includes a 20th-century shop front with bay windows and a secondary entrance on the far right. The rear of the building is obscured by extensions. The ridge of the roof aligns with that of the steep-pitched roof of No. 22, suggesting that these buildings may have originally been one house. The interior has not been inspected.
