Description

This is a three-storey and attic house and shop, dating from the late 19th century. It has two bays and is faced with smooth rendering. The windows are plate glass sash windows with raised Gothic hood moulds. The roof is slate and gabled, with a gabled two-light dormer window. A moulded bracket eaves cornice runs along the top.

On the ground floor, there are three Gothic arches linked by a string course above the central window. The arches frame doorways in the outer bays; the right-hand bay was originally a window, and the arch over the left-hand doorway displays the words "Established 1840.” The first floor has single sash windows, and to the left is a canted oriel bay window with enriched capitals and mullions. A decorative carved stone corbel with a plain shaft and carved capital projects through the ground floor string course at the base of the oriel. The second floor features a window to the left and paired windows to the right, with a continuous string course above.

The ground floor is now an open-plan shop unit accessible via the right-hand door. A late 19th-century staircase rises from the left-hand door, extending the full height of the building, and the upper floors have been converted into three separate flats.
