Description

The building features coursed stone walls and an asbestos tile roof with stone gable-coping. There is one shared stack on the left side. The structure has two storeys and attics.
On the west elevation, there are two windows. The ground floor includes a canted bay window with wooden columnar framing and large glass panels, which is a 20th-century addition. The corner features two shop windows with an integral door across the corner, topped with a fanlight. The window framing displays fine reeding and a plain cornice, while the door has marginal glazing-bars. On the first floor, there are two 4-light stone mullions with hollow chamfers, three of which have fixed lead lights and one has an opening iron casement, each with separate labels above. There is also a half-dormer with a 3-light stone mullion and a separate label above.
The south gable end has one 3-light mullion with a separate label above. The attached house on the left has roughcast stone walls and a stone plinth, with a Roman tile roof and one stone gable-coping.
