Description
The premises of Palmer Snell, located next to Nos 1 and 2 to the east, is a town house that has been converted into offices. It was likely built in the late 18th century but appears to have been re-fronted around 1830. The building is constructed of brick that has been colourwashed, and it features double Roman concrete tiles between coped gables, with a brick chimney stack on the east side.
The main facade is two stories high and consists of three bays. In the center, there is a six-panel door framed by a Regency-style doorcase, which includes flat Roman Doric unfluted pilasters that support an entablature with reeding and a shallow flat head, topped with a cast iron fret. On either side of the door, there are 16-pane sash windows (both bottom casements have lost their glazing bars), with matching windows above, and a central window with 12 panes. All windows are set in plain openings with flat gauged brick arches. The building features cornice moulding and a simple stone parapet.
The east return wall shows evidence of the new facade, with random coursed stone and a small circular window near the top of the gable. There is a modern casement window at ground floor level and a 16-pane window at first floor level. The interior has been significantly altered, with little original work remaining. A late 19th-century rear extension is not considered of interest. The property prominently occupies the bottom of Silver Street.
