Description
Simmons Lawrence and Messenger is a house that has been converted into estate agents. It likely dates from the late 17th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The exterior features lined render, probably over brick, and an old plain-tile roof with a brick ridge stack positioned to the right of the center. The building is two stories high and has a three-bay, two-window layout. There is a 20th-century sash door located to the left of the center, and double-leaf, panelled doors to the right. The shop fronts on both the left and right sides are from the 19th century. On the first floor, there are two 4-pane unhorned sash windows. The interior has not been inspected.
