Description

It features broadmayne brick walls and slate roofs with gable ends, along with brick stacks at the end gables. The building is two storeys high and has four sash windows with glazing bars. The ground floor includes a shop front with three lights on each side of a central doorway, all featuring depressed-arch heads and separated by wooden mullions. There are recessed-panel pilasters at the ends framing the doorway, which has wooden cills, a wooden frieze, and a continuous moulded cornice. The central doorway is a two-leaf door from the 19th century, while to the right of the shop front is a 20th-century reproduction door with four fielded panels and a top light above.
