No 25, including No 3 Conduit Lane

Earlier C19 house; a pair with No 24. Unpainted render with slate gabled roof and flanking stacks. Three storeys, 3-bays with moulded paired brackets to eaves, raised plinth, and tripartite sash windows to outer bays of upper floors with narrow sash in middle, taller windows on 1st floor. Sashes have marginal glazing bars, centre windows with etched and coloured glass margins. Later C19 shop front of 3 windows, one to left, one narrow one to centre paired with shop door and one immediately right, the middle one possibly replacing a door, each in casing of fluted pilasters (renewed in late C20) with overall fascia and cornice. Ceramic letters on fascia: 25 Dispensing Chemist 25, and plaque "St. Peter's Pharmacy Est. 1869". Slate-hung gable end to Conduit Lane. Short length of iron railings in angle between No 25 and No 3 Conduit Lane: plain spearheads with C20 added row of rails above. No 3 Conduit Lane is a low 2-storey range with C20 window each floor in end wall at right angles to end wall of No 25. To Conduit Lane, roughcast facade with close-eaved roof, one fixed 9-pane window with iron grille to left, panelled door to left of centre and C20 metal 6-pane casement on first floor right. Rebuilt brick chimney at right end.

Later C19 to early C20 pharmacist shop fittings inside. Glass-fronted and topped counters, glass-handled drawers and shelves behind counter possibly of mahogany. A half-glazed panelled door leads through to rest of house. Upper floors have plain, wide and uneven stairs, and the 2 main reception rooms have fire surrounds with ornate scrolled brackets to mantelpiece. Worn and uneven slate steps, probably pre C19 down to cellar, which is thought to retain traces of the White Gate of the medieval town, and even Roman cobbles beneath the slates, but little visible at time of resurvey. In No 3, 4 fielded-panelled doors. Thin ceiling joists to ground floor.
