Description
6 North Parade is a shop with accommodation above, built in 1740, with 19th-century additions and alterations made around 1910. It was designed by John Wood the Elder. The building is constructed from limestone ashlar and has a Welsh slate roof.
The structure is three storeys high, with an attic and cellar, and features three windows on the front and a three-window return to Pierrepont Street. The ground floor has a shop window added after 1926, which includes a canted corner and plate glass windows with a band of small panes at the top. There are doorways in rusticated stone surrounds at both ends: one leads to the shop on Pierrepont Street, and the other is the entrance to No. 6 North Parade.
On the first floor, the windows are late 19th-century sashes with plain dropped sills, except for the central window on Pierrepont Street, which is blind. The building has a dentil cornice, a parapet, and a mansard roof with two flat-topped dormers facing North Parade and one on Pierrepont Street, all featuring plain sash windows. The ashlar stack is without pots.
The interior of the shop has been modernized, and the rest of the interior was not inspected. This building is part of an incomplete scheme by John Wood for the Abbey Orchard, which was planned between 1740 and 1748.
