1, North Road

This is a late 19th century building, likely refronting an earlier 19th century structure, situated on North Road in Holsworthy. It functions as shops with accommodation above. The building is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings, featuring red and yellow glazed tiles in a modillion cornice, decorative keystones, moulded stringcourses, and a half-hipped slate roof. A gabled wing, with decorative ridge tiles and a brick stack located on the right side, adjoins the main structure. The left side of the facade is roughcast.

The layout includes a shopping arcade behind a double-fronted shop front to the right, a loggia to the left leading to the upper storey, and a rear wing that originally housed a bakery with accommodation above, now facing the churchyard of St. Peter’s Church.

The building is three storeys high, with three bays. It has paired round-headed sash windows without glazing bars, adorned with decorative capitals that continue as a frieze. A late 20th century wrought iron balcony, flanked by seated lions, is positioned on the first floor, set below a modillion cornice. A double-fronted shop front features a panelled soffit above a late 20th century glazed door. The ground floor capitals exhibit a variety of motifs, including flowers, foliage with birds, and a man's face. The loggia includes three arched openings with detailing similar to the window surrounds, and two late 20th century square-headed boarded doors.

The wing fronting the churchyard is two storeys plus an attic, with four bays and two bays, capped by a chimney stack over the space between two gabled dormers which were undergoing restoration in December 1987. Narrow stairlight windows, with marginal glazing bars and coloured lights, are located in the end bay to the right and the penultimate bay to the left. Sash windows with single vertical glazing bars are present, with ground floor windows on the right undergoing restoration.

The interior’s ground floor has been gutted to create a mid-20th century shopping arcade, incorporating applied half-timbering in a Tudor style. The ground floor wing, formerly a bakery, is now a health centre and is said to retain the original ovens in situ. The first floor of the main block features plasterwork friezes, an ornamental ceiling rose, and contemporary fireplaces in the room occupying two bays to the right. The building is considered the best example of its type within Holsworthy, although many similar buildings have been altered.
