Description
Gloucester House is a terraced house that may have been built alongside Nos 12-18. It stands three storeys tall and features three bays. The roof is slate and gabled, with a larger rendered chimney stack on the left and a red brick stack on the right. The eaves are boxed. The facade is painted stucco, complete with a plinth, long and short quoins on the left (which are matched on the right side of No 18), and windows that are surrounded by moulded frames with shoulders and keystones. The top floor has square windows, while the centre windows on the upper floors are blank. The other windows, along with the right window on the ground floor, are marginally glazed horned sashes.
The centre door has been incorporated into a shopfront that extends across the centre and left of the facade. This shopfront is framed by outer panelled pilasters with central roundels, and it is topped with large moulded and fluted brackets that have rounded tops. There are deeply recessed doors on either side of the shop window; the shop door on the right features a 20th-century door with a plain rectangular overlight and panelled reveals. The left-hand house door is glazed and has a moulded panel beneath it, dating from the earlier 20th century, with a panelled reveal to the left. The entry to the right has a tile mosaic floor. The shop window consists of a single plate glass pane at the front and single plate glass panes that are canted into each door recess, supported by thin angle columnar shafts with moulded capitals and bases.
