Description
H.M. Cleaver & Co. (Solicitors) is a building dated 1745. It features two storeys with roughcast elevations, band courses, and plinths, topped with slate roofs. There are two rendered chimney stacks and one brick chimney at the front gable. The building has 16-pane nearly flush sash windows with lugged architraves. The 19th-century shop front faces west towards Barrow Crafts and includes panelled pilasters, a half-glazed door for the solicitors with a lintel and plain pilasters, and a lean-to entrance at the angle with a small pane glazed door leading to the Antiques Shop.
On the gable end facing High Street, there are end pilaster strips and a deep band below a date plaque that reads "GE PI TL A 1745". Below this, the shop front features a diamond-faceted bracket cornice, with panelled pilasters flanking a fixed 4-pane window to the left and a half-glazed door to the right.
To the right side, there is a slightly set back lean-to with a camber-headed 6-pane fixed window, which has a lugged and scrolled architrave. The right side is roughcast and has a cross gable at the rear, with small pane sash windows. Parallel to and incorporated into the solicitors' property is a likely contemporary two-storey, two-window English bond brick range, formerly the Bakehouse. This section has a slate roof and both brick and rendered chimney stacks, with mostly flush frame sash windows featuring cambered voussoirs, and a small pane horizontally sliding sash window to the right, along with a boarded door to the left.
Inside Barrow Crafts, there is a relocated 18th-century handrail on the main staircase, panelled cupboards, and boarded floors. The ground floor of the solicitors' office has a stop-chamfered beam.
