Description
The Sugar Loaf Cafe is a house and shop located in a row, dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century. The building is rendered, with the left return gable made of well-cut squared stone and an asbestos cement slate roof. Originally designed as a two-room heated cross-passage plan, it stands two storeys high with an attic and features two windows. The windows are 4-pane sashes, although the bottom left window has been enlarged to accommodate a plate-glass display window. There is a near-central 20th-century glazed door.
The left gable return has a blocked small attic light with a chamfered flush surround and large kneeler stones. Blocked single-light windows are also present in the right-hand party wall, which can be seen from inside No. 30 Easton Square. The rear of the building has some 20th-century additions but retains a central gabled section with kneelers, although most coping stones are missing as of June 1991. There is a former chamfer surround light that now has a later casement at the first-floor level.
Inside, the property features rough chamfered transverse beams, a deep bressumer fireplace with solid stone cheeks to the right, and rough timber beams or joists in a recess to the left. There is one 4-panel fielded door and another door made of wide planks leading to a winder staircase at the centre back. The property has been extended at the back and is visually part of Easton Square, forming a group with Nos 30 and 31 in the Square.
