Description

No. 6 St Lawrence Green is a shop with accommodation above, likely originating in the 18th century and refronted in the 1860s. The building features a partly cob construction with a front elevation of painted Flemish bond brick and a slate roof, complete with a brick chimney stack. The plan consists of a single room width, with the core being a cob cottage that was extended to the rear in the mid-19th century.

The exterior is three storeys high, showcasing deep eaves supported by moulded, paired eaves brackets. The front is almost symmetrical, with a one-window layout featuring two-pane late 19th-century sash windows with margin glazing on the first and second floors. The shop front, dating from around the 1860s, includes doorways at either end that span nearly the entire width of the front. Each doorway is flanked by pilasters with incised key decoration, and similar pilasters are found on the inner sides of the doorcases. A fascia sits below a moulded cornice. The right-hand doorway, originally leading to the accommodation, has a step up to a recessed four-panel door, while the left-hand shop doorway features a glazed three-pane door with an overlight that includes glazing bars. The shop window is a transomed two-light design.

Inside, the ground floor front room has cob walls, except for the front, and includes a plain fireplace on the rear wall with a timber lintel. The passage partition from the right-hand entrance has been removed, and the rear room is plain. A brick-domed Georgian cess-pit has been discovered at the rear, according to information from the owner.
