Description

This is a three-storey house, now a shop, built around 1761-1765 and altered in the 19th century and 1934. It is possibly by Thomas Jelly, with a shopfront designed by G. Yeo for Guilberts in 1935. The front is faced with limestone ashlar, while the rear is a mix of ashlar, rubble, and a double-pile mansard roof covered with Welsh slate to the front and rear, with a coped party wall on the right. The roof features two ashlar stacks with some early clay pots; the former mews building to the rear has artificial slate.

The front features a three-window arrangement on each visible level. The first floor has three plate glass sash windows with splayed, ovolo moulded architraves, bordered glazing, friezes, and cornices, with a pediment centrally. The second floor has three two-over-two sash windows in similar, eared architraves. The ground floor has a projecting shopfront from 1934, featuring two plate glass windows, a recessed glazed door with overlight, and a fluted surround with leaf capitals, fascia, cornice and blind box. A former doorway on the left now provides access to a passageway leading to a car park at the rear. There are no basement windows. Two dormers with plate glass sashes are positioned centrally. The rear elevation is partially visible and includes a long rear extension incorporating a former mews building, with 20th-century windows on the first and ground floors. A six-over-six sash window is present on the second floor. The interior has not been inspected. An earlier shopfront by Alfred J. Taylor was altered in 1935 by G. Yeo.
