Description

This building, originally a shop and former pier, dates from the later 19th century, with some early 20th-century additions and alterations. It is a single-storey and loft structure featuring a four-bay former pier building, with its main facade facing the pier to the southeast. At the western end, there is a single-storey and attic two-bay gabled range, and a single-storey shop addition with a cat-slide roof located in the re-entrant angle to the north. The walls are made of rubble, which is harl-pointed, lined, and painted.

The southeast elevation is symmetrical, featuring two vertically-boarded timber doors at ground level positioned between the inner and outer bays. Above, there are dormers with shallow-gabled timber dormer heads that break the eaves in each bay at the first floor.

The northeast gable presents a blank wall for both the pier building and the shop addition, with infilled openings to the right and a rubble forestair on the left leading up to a loft door, which is now infilled.

On the northwest elevation, the gable of the western range is blank on the outer right, while the shop addition on the left includes a two-pane segmental-arched fixed light on the outer left and a four-pane fixed light on the outer right. Adjacent to the left is a vertically-boarded timber porch with a curved roof.

The southwest elevation features a half-gable on the right with a blind window centered at ground level. The left half of the gable is recessed, connecting to the two-bay elevation of the western range, which has a two-leaf vertically-boarded timber door in the right bay and a boarded window in the left bay.

The shop windows have fixed timber glazing, while the loft windows on the principal elevation are fitted with four-pane timber sash and case windows. The rear elevation of the principal range features a twelve-pane timber sash and case window. The roofs are covered with felt and corrugated sheet cladding. The gablehead stacks on the western range are made of harled rubble and have copes and circular cans, while the principal range has a wallhead stack with a cope and circular cans.
