Description
This is a former house, now an antiques shop, dating from the 1820s. The front facade is constructed of finely jointed ashlar stone, while the rear is of rubble stone. It has a shallow-pitched hipped roof covered in machine tiles and stone side stacks, one of which is capped with brick. A deeply projecting moulded eaves cornice runs along the top of the building.
The building is three storeys high and has a three-window arrangement. The top floor features six-pane sashes, the first floor has 12-pane sashes, and the ground floor has large 20th-century 12-pane windows within round-headed recesses, linked by a string course. A porch, attached to a two-storey, one-bay section to the north, is open and supported by a fluted column rising to a box cornice, and features a verandah with decorative Regency ironwork of roundels and acanthus leaves. The front door is six-panelled, with fielded upper panels and a rectangular fanlight. Note that the first-floor windows are now replacements made of PVC with 12 panes, installed after a resurvey in 1983.
