14, Cheap Street

14 Cheap Street is a shop with accommodation above, dating from around 1800 and altered in 1925. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, with the ground floor rendered and painted, while the roof is not visible. It has a single depth central entry plan and is back-to-back with No. 15 Abbey Church Yard.

The exterior features four storeys and an attic, with three bays. The ground floor showcases a quality 1925 shopfront designed by AJ Taylor, which is double fronted with a recessed entrance, bronze window surrounds, a black glass stallriser, and a marble surround with original lettering. The fascia extends into the first floor, which has three small square 1920s windows with margin glazing that form a mezzanine. Each floor above has a sill band with paired windows flanking a single window, all of which are twelve-pane sashes of late 18th-century style. There is a cornice band, a parapet, and the roof, although not visible, has three flat-topped dormers.

The shop interior has been altered and was not inspected above the ground floor. Historically, this site has been developed within a long-established shopping street, which is named after the old English term for Market. The street was widened and refronted under Baldwin's direction around 1790.
