Description

This is a three-storey, three-bay house and shop, dating from the 18th century and paired with No. 25. It has a slate gabled roof and a red brick chimney on the left side. The front is rendered and unpainted, with decorative modillions to the eaves cornice and a painted ground floor. The upper floors originally had tripartite four-pane, twelve-pane, four-pane sash windows to the outer bays, with a twelve-pane sash in the centre; the original configuration survives on the second floor. The first floor now has twentieth-century metal windows to the outer bays, with a twelve-pane sash in the centre. The ground floor has been painted with twentieth-century three-pane shop windows on either side of a twentieth-century central doorway, which has a half-glazed door, overlight, and flush surrounds. A twentieth-century door provides access to the house on the right. The left end wall is rendered and without openings. The rear is also rendered, with varied window placements.

A three-storey rear wing, of four bays, extends to Conduit Lane. This wing is rendered, and contains four small square second-floor windows under the eaves, along with three casement pairs, and a smaller four-pane window to the left. The first floor features a twelve-pane stair light and an added eight-pane horned sash, both set in plain surrounds, with a blind semi-circular lunette between them on the ground floor. Two twentieth-century doors, one wider, are located to the far left, and a band runs over the ground floor.

The shop interior has been altered. A staircase is located behind the door on the right, and it is similar to that found in No. 20, with stick balusters, turned slim newels, and an open scrolled string. The hall on the first floor has a plaster cornice, and the rooms contain six-panel doors with fielded panels and panelled reveals, along with four-panel doors. One main room has a moulded cornice, arched niches, and a marble fireplace. An early twentieth-century, tall, painted wood shelved overmantel, incorporating turned posts and arched heads to the top shelf, is present in a room within the rear wing. The doors on the second floor have canted corners to the door heads.
