Description

14 St Peter's Square is part of a pair of shops with houses above, dating from the 19th century. The building is a three-storey block with three windows, where the central windows are slightly offset to the right. It is constructed of pale grey coursed stone and features shallow slate roofs, with brick stacks located at the left end and right of the centre.

No. 14 has one window on its façade. To the right, there is a round-arched doorway with a recessed six-panel door, where the upper two panels are glazed, and a fanlight with radial glazing. To the left, there is a projecting shop front on a stone plinth, which includes a central inset splayed entrance with a late 20th-century half-glazed door, and plate-glass windows with arched heads that are partly obscured by a modern fascia. The original fascia is blank and sits below a dentilled cornice. The northern gable end is adjacent to No. 15.

At the rear, there is a three-storey wing made of rubble stone. The northern side features a four-pane sash window on the right and a small two-light window on the left. The upper storeys have small two-light casements, with one on the first floor that has a stone lintel and two on the second floor located just under the eaves. To the left, there is a two-storey stone range that includes a 16-pane hornless sash window on the right and a ventilator on the left; the upper storey has a 20th-century two-light casement on the left. Further left, there is a rendered range that has been converted into a pair of modern garages. The southern side of the rear wing is rendered and features 20th-century plain-glazed two- or three-light wooden casements, similar to the rear of No. 13.

Inside, there are a pair of slender cast iron columns with decorative capitals, positioned slightly to the left of the entrance and aligned at right angles. These columns support a short wooden beam.
