Description

16 Well Street is a three-storey building with a two-window range, constructed from random stone with quoins and topped by a slate roof. The upper storeys feature hornless sash windows, with 16-pane windows under stone lintels on the first floor and 4-over-8-pane windows on the second floor, just below the eaves. The left-hand windows on the upper floors are blind. The east gable end, which faces Record Street, has a single window with a similar 16-pane sash on the first floor and a 6-pane sash on the second floor, set beneath a segmental brick head.

The building has a continuous 19th-century shop front that includes a modillion cornice supported by six plain pilasters with large decorative consoles—four facing Well Street and two facing Record Street. The shop front features plain fascias and rendered stall boards. On Well Street, there is a central glazed door with an overlight, flanked by large plate-glass windows, while Record Street has a two-light window. At the rear, there is an additional range that adjoins at right angles, located at 15 Record Street. The interior has not been seen.
