Shop Premises Occupied By Loosemore (Chemist)

This building is a shop occupied by Loosemore, a chemist, and is located in a former house dating from the early to mid-18th century. It features coursed rubble stone on a cemented plinth and has a hipped stone slate roof on the right side, with a stone tile-hung gable end on the left. There is a rear stack made of brick and stone. The structure is a single squarish range with two storeys.

The front has two windows with 12-pane sashes and brick quoins. The ground floor showcases a 19th-century shop front that includes four thin pilasters and a moulded wood cornice, framing two 3-light arched head windows with thin colonnettes as glazing bars, along with a central recessed four-panel door, where the top two panels are glazed and the lower two are recessed. It is reputed that there are 19th-century Gothic pointed stone architraves to the windows and doors at the rear, but these were not accessible during the survey in March 1985.
