GV II

House in row. Late C18 front on probably C16 main fabric. Flemish bond brickwork, tile roof, brick stacks. Front range of side-entry parallel plan. The front with high parapet covers a steep-pitched roof parallel with the street, which seems to be continuous with No.37 (qv) adjoining, and the large ridge stack may be shared with that property. A throughway is incorporated to the right, and there is evidence for a formerly jettied first floor. 3 storeys and attic, 3-windowed. 4-pane sashes with brick voussoirs and fluted keystone with cornice. The painted ground floor has, left, a C19 pilaster shop front with a deep fascia, and to the right a 6-panel fielded door in fluted Doric pilaster doorcase with open moulded pediment over an arch. The door is very broad, in panelled reveals, with modified Greek key embellishments and a scalloped underside to the pediment. In the stone-flagged throughway, to the right, is heavy framing with very large braces. Approx 1m back from the street front is a chamfered beam on a very large post, with a bracket to the former jetty. There is a further chamfered stopped beam about halfway through the passage. INTERIOR not inspected.
