Description
Pemberton's is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring a roughcast front and a slate roof. It has a truncated brick chimney stack and bracket eaves, with a skylight on the left and a gabled dormer on the right. The first floor has 12-pane sash windows, which are adorned with timber bracketed cornices similar to those on No 4. The shop front is designed with a trabeated frieze cornice and deep brackets over pilasters, flanking central and left-hand entrances. It includes 8-pane shop windows, a half-glazed door at the center, and a six-panel door with a fanlight to the left. The shop front extends around the corner to the right.
The right gable end is asymmetrical, with the front verge rising to the top of the chimney stack and the rear verge rising to the base of the stack. There is a timber lintel above a three-light timber frame window, featuring ovolo moulded mullions, with one subdividing mullion to the left and hooks for shutters. The rear has modern facing and a lean-to, and it was originally jettied.
Inside, the building retains a largely original A-frame roof truss, and the timber framing of the front wall is visible. There is also a stop-chamfered beam on the ground floor.
