Description

The roof is covered with Welsh slate, with an abutment to the north and a plain gable to the south, and there are brick chimney stacks. The building is two storeys high and has a single bay. Above, there is a 16-pane sash window set in a plain opening. Below, there is a 2-light shop window with a simple fascia above, and to the right, a 6-fielded panel door is set in a beaded semi-circular arch, accessed by two steps, with a plain fanlight above. The interior has not been seen.
