No. 8 Palmer Street, also known as Oaklands - Le Tire Bouchon Restaurant, is a detached house built in the early 19th century. It is constructed from ham stone ashlar and features a Welsh slate Mansard roof with stepped coped gables and a front parapet. The building has two storeys with an attic and consists of three bays. It includes a plinth, a band course, a cornice, and moulded coping along the plain parapet. The windows are plain sash types set within architraves; the outer bays have three units above and angled bay windows below, which are adorned with Doric pilasters, entablatures, and flat roofs. The central upper bay has a single window, and below it is a semi-circular arched recess with an architrave and keystone. There is a 20th-century part-glazed door with a leaded fanlight above, accessed by three steps and protected by an open stone porch featuring Doric columns and pilasters, a plain entablature, and a flat roof. A 20th-century flat-roofed extension is attached to the west gable, which has a matching window, while the east gable also features matching windows with glazing bars. The interior has not been seen.
