48, Gold Street

No. 48 Gold Street is a house that has been converted into a shop with accommodation above, dating from around 1800 or earlier. The building features painted Flemish bond brick on the front, while the rear elevation is roughcast. It has a turnerised slate roof that is gabled at both ends, with end stacks that have brick and rendered shafts. Originally, the house was two rooms wide, but the ground floor has been gutted for shop use.

The exterior is three storeys tall with a symmetrical three-window front. It has three first-floor and three second-floor four-pane horned sash windows set in earlier moulded frames, although some of the flat brick arches above the windows have dropped. The shop front, which is a 20th-century addition, includes windows on either side of a central half-glazed shop door, with the windows featuring segmental arched heads. The rear elevation has a small projection to the left, which includes a rear doorway under a lean-to roof.

The interior has not been inspected but may still contain features of interest.
