Description
No. 7 River Street is a town house that has been converted into a shop, dating from the early 19th century. The front features incised stucco on studwork and a grouted scantle slate roof. The building has a double-depth plan that was altered during its conversion to a shop. It stands three storeys high and has a two-window range. The original windows are 12-pane hornless sashes set within moulded architraves, with scrolled ears and pediments adorned with anthemion decoration on the first-floor windows. There is a mid-floor string and aprons with shell motifs on the second-floor windows. The ground floor has 20th-century shop windows that are set within the remains of a late 19th-century shop front, which includes end pilasters and a fascia that is now obscured by a 20th-century fascia. The interior has been altered in the 20th century, and otherwise, it was not inspected.
