Square-headed door opening, moulded entablature carried on brackets, rectangular light divided by central glazing bar, C20 4-panel door. Left return rear half of gable end wall splayed out; right half with 12-pane sashes with flat surrounds; left half with 16-pane sash window on first floor and C20 shop window below. The unusual angle of the right gable end may be related to the fact that the Great Tree of Holsworthy stood against this wall until the early C20.
