Pretty Woman (Beauty Salon)

Three-storey house and shop of brick construction with probable timber-framed origins; slate roof with plain end chimney to the R. Stuccoed 2-bay, asymmetrical facade, with rusticated pilasters at the sides on the upper floors. The ground floor has a modern shop front to the L with plain-glazed door recessed to the L and plain associated shop window to the R with canted corner to the R; large modern fascia. Beyond this is a large segmentally-arched boarded entrance giving access to a through passage to the rear. The first floor has a plain 4-pane sash to the L with moulded stucco surround; to the R is a canted wooden oriel bay with plain Victorian sash glazing, moulded eaves and hipped roof. The second floor has 2 smaller 4-pane sash windows tucked under the eaves.

The rear, elevated section of the shop, represents the primary part of the building. This has a beamed ceiling to the ground floor with stopped-chamfered main beams and close-set joists. Angled, corner fireplace with stopped-chamfered bressummer. Above this is a large plasterwork cartouche with strapwork relief decoration and the date 1639 in raised figures, together with entwined initials to the centre. The first floor front-facing room has a timber-framed, close-studded wall of late medieval character visible on one gable end; it is probable that this is the end wall of a replaced neighbouring house, rather than relating to the primary structure of this building. Below the rear ground-floor section is a cellar with trap-door access. This is partly rock-cut and is presumably of medieval origin, relating to an earlier building on the site. The ground floor has been modernised and has modern partitioning.
