Description
This building is a three-storey, three-bay shop and house constructed in the late-Georgian style. It features a whitened roughcast exterior, although the lower storey is painted black. The roof is slate, with a roughcast stack on the left and an axial stack on the right.
The shop front includes a central half-glazed panel door with an overlight, flanked by two recent two-light shop windows that have panelled mullions and a transom, all above a rendered stall riser. On the left side, there is a fielded-panel house door with an overlight. The outer panelled pilasters are original and support a plain black fascia and a moulded cornice.
On the middle storey, there are camber-headed windows with black-painted architraves and pediments, featuring 12-pane hornless sashes. The upper storey has shorter 6-pane sash windows on the right and left with architraves and camber heads, and a blind window in the centre.
The rear of the building is cement rendered and has replacement windows. The property has been modernised.
