Narrow fronted commercial premises with residential accommodation above, of three storeys, formerly a terraced house. Late C18 or early C19 with later C19 or early C20 remodelling to façade.

Exterior: Stucco-faced front elevation under a slate roof. Timber shop front and first floor bay window with timber mullion and transom window above. Timber dormer in roof pitch. Altered plan. Single room plan with access to upper floors to the rear. Plain narrow one bay façade of stucco topped by a plain parapet. Modern shop front to ground floor with a late C19 or early C20 bay window with dentil cornice to first floor and a simple mullioned and transom window to second floor. Modest timber dormer set in the roof pitch behind parapet.

Interior: Ground floor shop entirely modern, though a chimney-breast survives on the north face of party wall. Upper floors not inspected.
