Description
This is a shop with living accommodation above, dating from the 18th century. It is a two-and-a-half-storey building with a single window facing the street. The exterior is roughcast with rendered quoins, and the roof is slate with brick end stacks. The shop front on the lower level features a broad six-pane hornless sash window above a roughcast stallboard. To the left, a two-pane sash window is splayed to accommodate a recessed panelled door with an overlight. The shop front is framed by pilasters with narrow raised panels, and is topped by a moulded cornice. The upper storey has a four-pane sash window to the right, set within a moulded architrave. Above this window is a gabled dormer with decorative bargeboards, containing a round-headed four-pane sash window.
