Description
No 9, known as the Digby Estate Office, including the railings, and No 11, is a late 18th century or early 19th century stucco building located on the corner of Cheap Street and Newland. It stands three storeys high with a three-window front facing Cheap Street. The building features a modillion cornice, a parapet, and a slate roof.
On the second floor, there are three sash windows, although the glazing bars are missing. The first floor has three three-light sash windows, divided by pilaster strips, also missing their glazing bars. These windows are set in round-headed sunk panels, with the imposts of the arches formed by a string course, which is wider at the first floor level. The ground floor boasts two prominent semi-circular bays, with a continuous entablature across the front supported by panelled pilasters flanking the doorway. The bays contain sash windows that retain their glazing bars, separated by pilaster strips, and feature dentil cornices.
The front of the building facing Newland includes a three-storey splayed bay and another three-storey bay to the east. Beyond these, there is a lower two-storey range with six window bays, also stuccoed, featuring a capped parapet and a slate gabled roof. The first floor windows on the left side are set higher in the wall plate, and there is a three-centred arched carriageway in the third bay from the left. The right side of the Cheap Street front has a one-storey wing that is set back, topped with a 19th-century lean-to slate hipped roof and a wide paired bracket eaves cornice. This wing has a stuccoed front with French casements featuring margin lights, one facing Cheap Street and the other facing south.
Nos 1 to 15 (odd) form a group with the George Hotel in Higher Cheap Street. Additionally, the north wing of the Digby Estate Office forms a group with Nos 8 to 12 (even) and the western range of No 16 (Hunts Dairies) on Cheap Street.
