12, South Street

No 12 on South Street is an 18th-century building constructed from colourwashed brick, with the ground floor partly made of coursed Purbeck rubble. It features a pitched tile roof and stone slates above the eaves. The building has two storeys and attics, with brick oversailing courses at the eaves.

On the first floor, there are three modern iron casements in their original openings, and one on the ground floor. The building also has two modern attic dormers. The contemporary bowed shopfront is flanked by moulded pilasters with paterae capitals and features a full entablature with elaborate moulded dentils.

To the left of the shopfront is a door with four flush panels and two sunk and moulded panels, along with panelled reveals and soffit. This door is also flanked by moulded pilasters with paterae capitals and has an oblong fanlight supported by elaborate cut brackets, which take a concave hood that continues the entablature of the shopfront. To the right, there is a part-glazed door with a reeded frame, which bears the badge of the Lord of the Manor.

This building is part of a group that includes Nos 2 to 10 (even), the Unitarian Chapel, Nos 12 to 32 (even), and the Holy Trinity Gallery.
