Description
Siop Hughes is a two and a half storey shop dating from the 19th century, constructed of coursed rubble masonry. It features a moderately pitched slate roof with oversailing eaves and a stone stack with water tabling. The building has gabled, slate-hung dormers that are set entirely within the roof. Victorian sash windows are present, with larger similar windows on the first floor, all featuring stone lintels.
The ground floor boasts a broad Victorian shopfront, complete with a dentil cornice above a plain fascia. It has paired fluted brackets supporting paired sunk panelled pilasters, and a canted recessed central entrance with a deep rectangular fanlight above a modern door. There are two-light shop windows with plastered stallrisers.
At the rear, the building continues with coursed rubble and a slate roof with close verges. The stone stack and water tabling are also present here, and the eaves were raised in the 19th century.
