House and shop

House and shop

This is an asymmetrical pair of 2½-storey shops with houses in late Georgian style, forming a unified front elevation. The buildings are finished with a pebble-dashed front painted light brown, white smooth-rendered surrounds, slate roof and end roughcast stacks.

Number 13 occupies the left side of the 4-window front. It features an advanced bay on its left side with rusticated pilasters beneath a hipped roof. The shop front displays faceted pilasters and a thin fascia and cornice over a plate-glass window with a narrow hopper window above it, and a half-glazed door to its left under an overlight that has been boarded over. The upper storey contains a hornless 16-pane sash window. The entrance to the house is set back to the right, a fielded-panel door under a radial-glazed overlight.

Number 15 has a single entrance to both shop and house on its left side, comprising double panelled doors with fielded lower panels and an overlight. To the right is a 3-light shop window with a narrow light above a transom, panelled pilasters, fascia with end panels and moulded cornice. The upper storey has a 12-pane hornless sash window over the entrance, with 2 replacement small-pane top-hung casement windows to its right. The attic contains 3 gabled dormers with small 2-light windows, the left-hand one within the advanced bay.

Number 15 has a 2½-storey rear wing, to which a lower 2-storey wing has been subsequently added with modern windows in its gable end. Both wings are rendered. Number 13 likewise has a whitened render 2½-storey rear wing with end roughcast stacks and replacement windows, with a further later 2-storey wing offset to its right side. This last wing retains a 4-pane sash window in the upper storey but is otherwise of modern detail.
