Description
This is a three-storey house, now a shop, dating from approximately 1761-1765, with alterations from the 19th and 20th centuries. It may have been designed by Thomas Jelly. The front is constructed of limestone ashlar, now painted, while the rear is of ashlar and rubble. It has a double-pile, parapeted roof with a mansard front, raised to the rear, covered with Welsh slate, and has two ashlar stacks with some early clay pots.
The front has a three-window facade. The first floor features three six-over-nine sash windows set within ovolo moulded architraves with friezes and cornices, with a pediment over the central window and lowered stone sills. The second floor has three six-over-six sash windows in eared ovolo moulded architraves with stone sills. The ground floor incorporates a 20th-century shopfront, retaining some elements from a late 19th-century shopfront, including projecting plate glass windows and a recessed glazed door with a marble stall-riser, reeded half-pilasters, a deep frieze, and a moulded cornice. To the left of the shopfront is a six-panel door with moulded panels, a cast iron lion's mask knocker with a simple fanlight, and a cast iron footscraper. There is no visible opening to the basement. The roof is punctuated by two dormers with six-over-six sash windows in moulded architraves. A modillion eaves cornice sits atop a coped parapet.
The partially visible rear elevation shows an eight-over-eight sash window on the second floor and two six-over-six sashes to the right, incorporating a wrought iron balconette to the third floor.
An extension to the rear, containing a separate shop, is constructed of ashlar with a pantile roof, coped verges, and an ashlar stack. The rear elevation facing a car park has a small four-pane casement window to the first floor. The interior of the extension features a late 19th- to early 20th-century marble fireplace with tiled panels, a ceiling rose, and an eight-over-eight sash window overlooking a garden.
