Description
A building of the 18th century, situated on the corner of Prior's Walk. The walls are rendered, with a tiled roof and brick stacks. It is two storeys high. The ground floor features a shop front, likely dating to the early 19th century, with a bowed window facing Prior's Walk, lacking glazing bars. A plain shop window is situated facing West Borough, all within a moulded timber surround. There is also a recessed canted bay window with double-hung sashes, and a four-panel door facing West Borough. On the first floor, four double-hung sash windows are present, each with a central glazing bar. Part of the elevation facing Prior's Walk is of unrendered brick. Modern additions include a door and window to the ground floor. A loft-type door on the first floor likely indicates a former store.
