Description
17 and 18 St Edmund Street are a pair of early 19th-century houses that also contain shops. They have a rough rendered exterior and a slate mansard roof. The buildings feature a broad bow front with curved mansard slopes, standing three storeys tall with an attic, and have two windows on each side of the bow. Above the bow, there are two flat-roofed sash dormers, which contain 9-pane and 12-pane sash windows set in reveals on stone sills. The ground floor has a full-width 20th-century display front with a very deep fascia. The buildings also have a moulded cornice with a blocking course and a parapet, along with ridge stacks at each party wall. The interior has not been inspected. This design, which uses the entire frontage as a bow, is an unusual feature not found elsewhere in the town.
