Description
This building is a 2½-storey shop and house, featuring whitened roughcast walls and rusticated quoins. It has a slate roof that is hipped at the corner, with boarded eaves, terracotta ridge tiles, and finials. A brick ridge stack is located at the center of the High Street elevation, while a stack is positioned at the left end facing Lancaster Square.
The front facing High Street has a two-window design. The shop area includes plate-glass windows set on thin turned posts with fretwork brackets, along with central half-glazed panel doors and an overlight. The house windows are horned sashes, with first-floor windows presented in canted oriels topped with hipped tile roofs. These windows feature a distinctive glazing pattern of 12 over 2 panes in the top sash and a single pane in the bottom sash. The attic windows are segmental-headed, framed in moulded architraves within half dormers that have simple barge boards and finials. These attic windows also have 8 panes in the top sash and a single pane in the bottom sash.
On the Lancaster Square elevation, which has three windows, there is a three-light shop window that mirrors the details of the High Street front. At the left end, a panelled house door with an overlight is present. The first floor features oriel windows similar to those on the High Street, flanking a central blank raised panel that was formerly painted. The attic includes two half-dormers like those on the High Street, with a segmental-headed stair window in a moulded architrave between them, displaying the same distinctive glazing pattern as the dormers.
A lean-to cast iron veranda wraps around both elevations, supported by round posts with capitals, and was once adorned with a valance. The center and left-hand bays on the Lancaster Square elevation are higher and were added later, with the end supported by a scrollwork cast iron bracket. The building has not been inspected.
