Description

No. 23 St Gluvias Street is a town house that was later used as a shop, dating from the late 18th century. It is constructed of painted rubble and features a steep asbestos slate roof with sprocketed front eaves. There is a rendered rear lateral stack on the left side. The building has an L-shaped plan, including a wing at an angle behind the left-hand side. It stands three storeys tall and has a two-window range. The wide window openings contain 20th-century tripartite horned sashes. On the ground floor, there is a late 19th-century four-light former shop window on the left with basket-arched lights, a blocked doorway with painted ashlar left-hand jamb to the right of centre, and a pedimented doorway on the right with pilasters and consoles, featuring a 20th-century top-glazed door. The interior has not been inspected but is likely to be of interest.
