Description
This is a late 18th-century shop with flats above, with a likely 19th-century addition of a third floor, and a shopfront dating to circa 1868. The front is constructed of limestone ashlar, while the rear is of ashlar and rubble with ashlar sides. The roof is parapeted, with the covering not visible from the front, and features double Roman tiles to the rear.
The house has a shallow, segmental bow front, angled to Landsdown Road, with a mid-19th-century shopfront that now extends back to the pavement. This may have been part of a larger development that was never completed, as evidenced by a separate stack on the right side with fireplaces. A rear staircase is present. The building is four storeys high with a basement, and features a single-window range. The first floor has two curved, six-over-six sash windows with timber mullions in simple reveals, set within recessed panels extending up to the second-floor windows, and a stone sill. The second floor has a similar sash window with horns, a plain reveal, and a blind segmental head with a continuous wrought-iron balconette and a stone sill. The third floor has two small, paired plate-glass sashes in plain reveals with a continuous stone sill. The ground floor contains a 19th-century timber shopfront with two plate-glass windows, V-section timber mullions at angles, and a half-glazed door recessed up four stone and timber steps. The stall risers have eight-pane fixed glazed panels to light the basement, and there are panelled pilasters to the left and right. Above the shopfront is a blind box and a fascia at an angle. To the left of the shopfront are a pair of three-panel doors with an overlight, contained within a surround with three pilasters featuring incised palmette decoration, heavy moulded console brackets (partially missing on the right), a frieze and a cornice with enriched modillions. The interior of the building has not been inspected.
