Description

Gosen House is a terraced house located in a row with Nos 12-18, and it shares similar details with No 16. The house has three storeys and two bays, topped with a slate gabled roof featuring a red brick chimney stack on the right and deep eaves. The exterior is finished in painted stucco, with long and short quoins on the right that match those on the left side of No 16. There is a sill band on the first floor, and the upper storey windows are designed similarly to those of No 16, featuring moulded shouldered surrounds with keystones. The top floor has smaller windows, all of which are sashes with marginal glazing bars.

On the ground floor, there is an overall shopfront with panelled pilasters on both the left and right, resembling those on Nos 12-14. A pair of pilasters that used to be between the door and the shop window is now missing. The fascia is supported by four scrolled brackets, and there is a shelf above. The left side has a 20th-century door, while the right side features a three-pane shop window. Additionally, the right-hand end wall has a raised chimney breast. Inside the shop window, a cast iron supporting column is visible.
