Description
This building, originally a pair of shops now functioning as a single premises, dates back to the 19th century. It stands three storeys tall and is constructed from bathstone, featuring granite colonettes at the windows. The design includes a parapet with panelling and a cornice above the first floor. Each shop has a tripartite window on the second floor, which consists of three shouldered arches adorned with rope mouldings, keystones, and relief heads set in roundels, along with a foliage band at the impost level. The first floor features a triple round-arched window, also with keystones and granite colonettes. The shopfronts have been modernized.
