42, St Thomas Road

This is an early 19th-century village house, later incorporating a shop. The front wall is rendered over rubble foundations, with a rag slate roof that is hipped on the left side. There's a rendered stack on the right end and cast-iron ogee gutters. The building occupies a double-depth, tapered corner plot, with the shop integrated into one end. It is three storeys high with a three-window front. The original windows are hornless sash windows with glazing bars; the second-floor windows are square, and there is a blind window on the first floor to the left. The shop front on the left has an original arched window design, and the entrance is within a plain stucco architrave. The north end of the building features a recessed sign panel above two late 19th-century four-pane sash windows. Below is a late 19th-century shop front with wide end pilasters, slender mullions with arched heads, and a moulded entablature with a fascia. Original glazed doors lead into the shop. The rear of the building has a three-window range, with blind windows except for an original 12-pane hornless sash window on the ground floor to the left, another identical window above it, and a later horned sash window on the second floor to the right. An original six-panel door is also present on the rear. The interior was not inspected but is likely to contain features of interest.
