Description
Cobra House is a house and shop featuring a painted stucco front with a roof behind a raised parapet. The building has three storeys and an attic, with one bay. There is a 20th-century dormer located behind the parapet. On the second floor, there is a sixteen-pane sash window, while the first floor boasts a large late 19th-century canted oriel window, which has 2-4-2-pane sashes and a moulded cornice. The ground floor includes a 20th-century door leading to a through passage on the left and a shop front on the right, complete with a fascia and cornice that wraps around the base of the oriel window. The fascia features three console brackets, two positioned above the left door and one at the far right. The shop front has a recessed door to the left of a two-pane shop window, with a third pane canted into the door. At the rear, there is a rendered two-storey wing with a 20th-century shop inserted.
The through passage leads to the town walls, where there are inserted shops known as Nelson Walk. Off the passage, there is a door that leads to a staircase for Cobra Flats, which features stick balusters, a thin bulbous newel, a ramped rail, and a closed string.
