7, West Street

No. 7 West Street is a house with a shop, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. The front is rendered and is likely timber-framed, topped with a slated roof and featuring a rendered chimney on the left gable end. The building is double-depth and was originally double-fronted, with a cart entrance that is now a public alley, located off-centre to the right. However, the right side appears to be partially obscured by the projecting front of No. 9. The structure has three storeys and is three windows wide.

To the left of the cart entrance is a well-preserved mid-19th century shop front, which includes two display windows, each consisting of three panes and canted in the centre towards a recessed glazed door that has a moulded bottom panel. Flanking pilasters support an entablature above. The upper storey windows feature barred sashes in moulded flush frames, with six-over-six panes on the second storey and three-over-six panes on the third storey. Most of the rear windows also have similar sashes, except for the ground storey windows, which are round-arched and have interlaced Gothic glazing bars in their heads. Under the cartway, there are six-panelled doors on either side, with the two lowest panels being flush; the left-hand door has an old iron knocker.
