Description

No. 31 St Giles Street is a house and shop dating from the 18th to 19th century. It features a three-storey ashlar front built on rubble, with a shop front and a string course at the second floor. The first floor has five sash windows, although the center window is blocked. The second floor contains five two-light casement windows. The building has a parapet and four gabled dormers, while the roof is not visible.

Inside, the first-floor rooms include some late 18th-century panelling painted white, and there is also some apparently early 17th-century panelling, painted brown, in one of the first-floor rooms.

Nos. 31 to 46 and Nos. 49 to 56 form a group.
