No 70 Including Walls of Rear Plot

No. 70, which includes the walls of the rear plot, is a house that forms part of a pair with shopfronts. It is likely from the 18th century or earlier and was refronted in the early 19th century. The front is stuccoed and may have been timber-framed. The roof is covered with asbestos slate and gabled at both ends, featuring a rendered stack at the right end and a roughcast stack at the left end. The building has a double-depth plan and stands two storeys tall with a low roofline in the street. The front is asymmetrical with two windows and has a moulded eaves board. The shop front includes pilasters with sunk panels and corbelled moulded brackets supporting the fascia and cornice, which features a dentil frieze. There is a canted plate-glass shop window that angles towards a glazed shop door, which has a low panel and an overlight to the left. Inside, a stud partition between the two rooms has been partly removed, and there may be other interesting features, including the possibility of an early roof construction.
