Former public house. 1898 with later additions and alterations including those of 1997 to interior and extension to rear. Red brick in Flemish bond with plaster decoration to gables and plain tile roof; central brick ridge stack with cornices and pots.

STYLE: Queen Anne Revival.

EXTERIOR: 3 storeys with attics to gables, 4 first-floor windows; continuous surmounting dentil cornices and 2 surmounting pedimental gables with dentil cornices and oculi, embellished with strapwork decoration. Ground floor has 2 wide, ovolo-moulded, cambered arches with raised voussoirs and on plinths. Within, a recessed bow with three plate-glass elliptically-arched windows to each side with pilaster strips between and on panelled plinths; 2 outer entrances have part-glazed doors and side-lights; continuous multi-pane overlight. Continuous shaped frieze and cornice with egg and dart moulding over ground floor acts as a sill band at first floor. Multi-pane casement windows in plain reveals and with cambered arches within cambered-arched recesses with 2 rows of ovolo-moulding. Cornice over first floor acts as continuous sill band to second-floor windows: multi-pane casements (shorter and wider than those to first floor) with cambered heads and plain reveals.

INTERIOR: the dentil moulding, panelling and fitted seat remain to ground-floor bow, dogleg staircase to right side retains turned balusters and ball finials to newel posts, otherwise the ground floor has been gutted. A fine example of a late C19 commercial frontage in this style.
