On the Guildhall Street frontage one 16-pane sash to the upper storey and a fixed window to the ground storey. Above the ground storey, a heavy moulded wooden fascia and cornice, presumably for a former shop front. INTERIOR: the corner range has main cross-beams and the dragon-beam to a former corner-post, all boxed in.
