Description
This late Georgian-style building comprises a shop and house on a corner site. Constructed around the late 18th or early 19th century, it features walls of roughcast, finished with a cream paint, a steep slate roof, and a square roughcast stack on the right side. The quoins are rusticated and faceted. The house entrance is on the left side of the lower storey, set within a rusticated surround topped with an entablature and moulded cornice. The door has two narrow panels and a plain overlight. To the right of the entrance is a five-light shop window with round arches supported by slender colonnettes with moulded capitals; the spandrels feature foliage in relief. A painted sign board and cornice are attached to the fascia, supported by brackets on consoles. The cornice wraps around the corner, where a more recent entrance has replacement half-glazed doors and a round-headed overlight with foliage spandrels. Narrow panels flank the entrance on each elevation. The Castle Street elevation also features a two-light shop window with similar detailing.
The upper storey windows have moulded architraves. The Castle Street front has sixteen-pane hornless sash windows, the central one offset to the left. A sill band includes a Greek key frieze, which continues to the Church Street elevation, although the key pattern is absent. Two gabled roof dormers have two-light windows, with a more recent skylight in between. A sixteen-pane sash window is visible on the left side of the Church Street elevation. Two superimposed stair windows are present on the right side; the lower one is a sixteen-pane sash window that breaks through the sill band, while the upper one is a small-pane fixed window. The rear elevation includes a replacement raked roof dormer. The building displays group value from the period. The building was not inspected internally.
