21, Cheap Street

This building is a shop with living accommodation above, dating from 1897, with alterations made in the 20th century. It was designed by Major Charles Davis. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, with the roof hidden from view. It was originally built as a single unit with numbers 1 and 2 Stall Street. The building's plan features a single depth with a rear, top-lit extension. The ornate classical facade is rounded at the corner where Cheap Street meets Stall Street.

The exterior consists of three storeys plus an attic. A continuous shopfront from the late 20th century occupies the ground floor, topped by a modillion cornice supported on consoles. There are four windows in number 21, out of a total of seven for the combined building. The windows are sash windows within moulded architraves. The first-floor windows have segmental pediments with carved panels within the pediment. The upper windows are simpler sashes with a panel above. A deep frieze band with carved garlands and a dentilled cornice sits above the second-floor windows. A modillion cornice, ornamented with decorative moulding, runs along the top of the building. An ashlar chimney stack with decorative pots is also present. The interior has not been inspected. Historically, this shop was known as the ‘Original Bath Bun House’.
