100-106, DREW STREET

This is a pair of houses, or potentially a single large house that has been divided into houses and shops. The building dates to the early 18th century, with later alterations in the late 19th or early 20th century, particularly to the shop fronts. The walls are solid and rendered, topped with a hipped, slated roof. A large rendered chimney is located in the centre of the rear wall, and a smaller rendered chimney is at the left end of the rear wall. Red brick chimneys are present on the right roof slope and in a rear wing.

The building is L-shaped, with a long wing extending to the right. It is two storeys high with a garret. There are six windows across the front. The windows have segmental heads; those on the ground floor have two windows, while there are six above. The windows at numbers 100 and 102 have eight-paned sashes. Those at the outer ends of numbers 104 and 106 have triple sashes with six panes in the centre and two in the side-lights, while the central window has six-paned sashes with margin panes.

Number 100 has a simple shop front with a fascia above and a half-glazed door to the right. This door has two unusual ribbed panels below. A moulded strip extends onto the soffit of the doorway, delineating the entrance to number 102, which features a six-panelled door with a letterbox. The lower two panels on this door have the same ribbed pattern as that at number 100, and a narrow three-paned fanlight sits above. A matching panelled reveal is on the right side, and there is a soffit above. Numbers 104 and 106 feature a shop front incorporating a house door to the left; this is a six-panelled door with a wreath knocker. The shop front itself has a pair of display windows canted towards a recessed, three-quarter glazed door, which has a moulded panel below and a shaped glazed panel above. A panelled pilaster is located to the left of the house door, with a gabled block on paired brackets above, forming the terminal of an entablature extending across the display window. Pilasters flank either end of the front and the centre, with the lower parts of those at the ends having been removed. A coved eaves cornice runs along the roofline. Two flat-topped dormers were added in the late 20th century at numbers 100 and 102. Two earlier gabled dormers are present at numbers 104 and 106, and two smaller gabled dormers are on the roof-hip to the right.
