Description

This building is a late 19th-century shop with accommodation and workshops, located on a main street. The structure is comprised of a two-bay, two-story front range with a cellar beneath the western bay, extended to the rear by a pair of asymmetrical gabled rear extensions. The rear range has a steeply sloping roof, lower than that of the front.

The street frontage features a restored shopfront with moulded pilasters, brackets, and slender-glazing-barred shop windows. A central doorway is set back beneath a fascia with replaced glazed doors. Six-over-six sash windows are located on the first floor. A tall brick stack, now positioned between this building and its neighbour, rises externally. The western gable wall at ground level is built of randomly coursed brick, limestone, and flint rubble, above which it is clad in red, brown, and grey brick. The rear southwest angle is chamfered at a lower level. The rear wings are clad in stretcher bond red brick and showcase two- and four-light timber casements, with some first-floor windows set beneath cambered brick arches.

The ground-floor shop has been modernised and the former rear wall is now internal. Internal stone steps descend into a stone-lined cellar. First-floor front rooms contain late 19th-century fireplaces with moulded surrounds. The rear wings feature chamfered wall plates and horizontally aligned spine beams with stop-chamfered ends, typical of the late 16th or 17th century. Doors are panelled, with either two chamfered or two moulded panels. The crown post roof above the western bay has a thick, plain shaft and steeply curved braces to the collar and collar purlin. The collar purlin’s scarf joint indicates that the roof originally extended further. The roof of the eastern bay is a shallow, likely 19th-century hipped roof, built over remnants of earlier rafters.
