wooden corbel. Slate roof. No chimneys visible from street. A
simple oblong plan, with no sign of original partitions in the
ground storey; staircase at right-hand end, opening directly
from the street. 2 storeys. Ground storey wholly altered, with
late C20 wood-framed display windows. Upper storey, of early
or mid C19 character, has 6-paned, flush-framed sash window to
