Description
This building is a three-storey house with a cellar, located next to a former shop on the corner with Springfield Street. It features four windows and has an advanced three-sided canted bay on the left side. The exterior is constructed from rubble masonry and topped with a gently pitched slate roof, which is hipped over the advanced bay. The eaves are boxed, and there are stone stacks with water tabling.
On the second floor, there are Victorian sash windows set under the eaves, with three windows on the sides of the advanced bay and one to the right. The windows have stone lintels. The first floor has similar, but deeper, windows.
The ground floor of the advanced bay boasts a well-preserved Victorian shopfront. It has a dentil cornice with a plain entablature above. There is a three-light shop window facing Springfield Street, flanked by pilasters with keel moulded ribs. Below, there is a basement opening, and a similar two-light window is present on Finsbury Square. The central doorway features pilasters and a nameboard above, with a recessed entry that includes stone steps leading down to the street, finished with slate treads. A plain rectangular fanlight is positioned above a modern door. To the extreme right, there is a domestic doorway with a stone lintel, featuring a rectangular fanlight above a four-panel door, where the upper panels are glazed, and slate steps lead down to the street.
Adjoining to the right is a similar three-storey house with one window. It has modern dormers on the roof and one tier of Victorian sash windows to the right, which are stepped down from those of the adjoining shop. These windows also have stone lintels, and the doorway is offset to the left, featuring a stone lintel and a modern door.
