Description
Pretty Woman is a three-storey house and shop built of brick, likely with timber-framed origins, topped with a slate roof and featuring a plain end chimney on the right. The facade is asymmetrical with two bays and is stuccoed, showcasing rusticated pilasters at the sides on the upper floors. The ground floor includes a modern shop front on the left with a plain-glazed door set back to the left and a plain shop window on the right, which has a canted corner. There is also a large segmentally-arched boarded entrance that leads to a passageway to the rear.
On the first floor, there is a plain 4-pane sash window on the left with a moulded stucco surround, and on the right, a canted wooden oriel bay with plain Victorian sash glazing, moulded eaves, and a hipped roof. The second floor features two smaller 4-pane sash windows tucked beneath the eaves.
The rear section of the shop, which is elevated, is the main part of the building. It has a beamed ceiling on the ground floor with stopped-chamfered main beams and closely spaced joists. There is an angled corner fireplace with a stopped-chamfered bressummer. Above the fireplace, a large plasterwork cartouche displays strapwork relief decoration and the date 1639 in raised figures, along with entwined initials at the center. The first-floor room facing the front has a timber-framed, close-studded wall of late medieval character visible on one gable end, likely the end wall of a replaced neighboring house rather than part of the original structure. Below the rear ground-floor section, there is a cellar with trap-door access, which is partly rock-cut and presumably of medieval origin, linked to an earlier building on the site. The ground floor has been modernized and features modern partitioning.
