Description
Nos 40 and 42 Princes Street is a town house from the 18th century that has been converted into shops. The building is constructed of colourwashed brick with stone dressings and features a Welsh slate roof that has a steep pitch, with coped gables and truncated end chimney stacks. It is two stories high. The ground floor has modern shopfronts, while the first floor resembles the first floors of Nos 46 and 48, featuring a smaller central window with a 16-small-pane sash in plain reveals, flanked by wider side windows with 20th-century timber casements. The window cills have been lowered to the top of the fascia for the shops, and all windows have gauged brick flat arches with keystones. The building also has rusticated quoins and a stone cornice, topped by a parapet of uncertain date that is rendered and divided into small square panels. The interior has not been inspected. The building is included for its group value.
