Description

The Studio is a shop and house dating from the early 19th century. It features a rendered exterior and a double Roman tile roof, with a tall brick stack on the left side. The building has two storeys and three bays, with late 19th-century sash windows that include marginal lights, except for a broad shop window on the right side of the ground floor, which consists of a single large pane of glass. The door opening is nearly central and contains a 20th-century half-glazed door topped with a wooden open pediment supported by brackets. The core of the structure may have medieval origins.
