Description

Trafalgar House is a house and shop located in a terrace, positioned lower than Waterloo House, Nos 2-4, and higher than No 8. The building features three bays and stands three storeys tall, topped with a slate gabled roof that has three skylights and a red brick chimney stack on the right. The eaves are close, and the broad facade is painted stucco with long and short quoins at both ends.

The second floor has four-pane small square horned sash windows with painted heads under the eaves, while the first floor features a larger four-pane sash window in a moulded shouldered surround with a vermiculated key. This window is flanked by large later 19th-century canted timber oriel windows, each with 2-4-2 panes, panels below, and dentil cornices above.

On the ground floor, there is a large shopfront on the left, which includes a central door and a fixed-pane 20th-century horizontal window to the right, accessed via the central door. The door and left shopfront are framed by late 19th-century casing, which includes three panelled and part-fluted pilasters with carved capitals. These support a fascia and dentil cornice between two large coved brackets with gabled tops. The shop glazing and recessed shop door, as well as the central door with an overlight, are from the 20th century. The right-hand return above the roof of No 8 is made of rubble stone.
