Shops; probably always so: C19 mid. In two parts, themselves part of a larger department store. Brick (colourwashed) with plain clay tiled roofs, brick chimney stack to right-hand side. Left half of 3-storeys of 2-bays, seemingly specially designed as a sympathetic extension to 25 High Street (q.v.). Modern shopfronts to ground floor; segmental arched 2-light casements to first floor, with gauged brick arches and plain labels over: to second floor 2-double sash windows in plain openings, with flat gauged brick arches. Brick pilasters to each side, with string course through above second floor; then panels in the pilasters, a thin cornice and a brick parapet hiding the roof. The right half plainer, also 3-storeys of 2-bays and at slightly lower levels: modern ground floor shop front and late C20 windows in plain openings with flat gauged brick arches to first floor: the second floor has two 4-pane sash windows in similar openings. The interior considerably altered. This property included for its group value on the corner site, as well as being integral with other listed buildings, Nos 24/25 High Street and Nos 3 and 5 Hendford, (q.v.).
