Description
The Old Shop is a two-storey building constructed from rubble stonework and whitewashed, topped with an old slate roof. The facade features a three-window bay that is offset to the left, with an additional window at the right end of the ground floor. There is a boarded door with a two-pane overlight and a deep stone lintel. The ground floor has narrow 12-pane sash windows, one of which on the right side replaces a former shopfront, with its lintel still visible. To the left, there is a nine-pane single sash window. On the first floor, there are three 6-pane single hornless sash windows set within deep reveals, although one has been replaced with horns. A large gable end stack with weather courses is present. At the rear, there is a large lean-to that extends under the roof, featuring a boarded door and a modern three-pane window. The building was not inspected during the re-survey.
