25 High Street

25 High Street is a two-storey and attic, two-bay tenement and shops built in 1898 by James Pearson Alison. It is part of a terrace and features a symmetrical design with bipartite windows and an inscribed escutcheon. The building has Dutch-inspired dormers with consoles and pediments that break the eaves. The front is constructed of squared, snecked yellow sandstone with polished ashlar dressings, while the rear is predominantly brick.

The left shopfront has a consoled, corniced fascia, and there is a first-floor string course and a dentilled cornice on the second floor, along with an eaves cornice. The windows have roll-moulded margins, with stone-mullioned, bipartite windows on the first and second floors. The first-floor windows feature projecting cills with conch details above, while the second-floor windows have corbelled projecting cills and label-stopped hoodmoulds. At the rear, there is a projecting, piend-roofed central stair bay flanked by piend-roofed dormers.

The building has some three-pane and four-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows. The roof is covered with grey slate and has a stone ridge, ashlar-coped skews, and coped ashlar end stacks with circular buff clay cans. It also features cast-iron rainwater goods.

Inside, there is a mosaic lobby floor that is now concealed within the left shop. The stone tenement stair has decorative cast-iron balusters and a polished timber handrail. There are timber-boarded doors with tall two-pane fanlights leading to two closets on either side of each landing.
