Description
This is an early 19th-century house, now used as a shop. The exterior is rendered to resemble ashlar, with chamfered corners and quoin strips on either side of the chamfer. It has a low-pitched Welsh slate roof hidden behind a moulded parapet featuring three tetrahedrons, the central one set on a low plinth. The shopfront dates from the early 20th century, and there are 20th-century sash windows set within slightly raised surrounds featuring rusticated voussoirs. Return elevations show doorways.
