Description
No. 10 Kenwyn Street is a town house that has been converted into two shops. It dates from the early 19th century and features a front made of local freestone ashlar. The building has a fairly steep asbestos slate roof with brick stacks at each end. It has a double-depth plan and stands three storeys tall. The original symmetrical front has two windows, each with flat arches above 16-pane hornless sash windows. There is a central doorway, along with a doorway in what was originally a window opening on the right, and a 20th-century shop front on the left. Inside, there is a moulded and carved ceiling cornice in the entrance hall and the right-hand room. The shop on the left has been altered in the 20th century, and the rest of the interior has not been inspected.
