Description
The Washeteria is an attached house that has been converted into a laundry. It dates from the early 19th century and features walls made of lias rubble and a slate roof. The building stands three storeys high and has three sash windows with glazing bars. These windows are set in flush wooden frames, with gauged stone voussoirs above them. To the right, there are large plate-glass shop windows surrounded by tiles. A wooden door with multiple panels is located to the left of the shop window, and there is a goods entrance immediately to the left of the shop door, although the original opening is not clearly visible.
