Description
This is a mid-19th century house and shop, potentially incorporating earlier fabric. The front is rendered with a natural slate roof, featuring a crested ridge tile and a right-hand stack with a rendered shaft and platband. The asymmetrical facade has three windows. To the left is a shop entrance with a half-glazed door and an overlight, alongside an eight-pane shop window with a pilaster strip. A 20th-century door provides access to the house, with a slate hood, flanked by a three-light casement window with two panes per light to the left, and a canted bay window to the right. Above are three two-light casement windows, each with two panes. The interior remains uninspected but may contain features of architectural interest.
