Mid to later 19th century, altered at ground. 3-storey and attic, 4-bay shop with small tenement above. Stugged ashlar (part-painted) with stone cills. Eaves course.

SE (HIGH STREET) ELEVATION: modern shops to ground, chamfered angle to outer right; 4 windows to each floor above, those to bays 1, 2 and 3 at 1st floor with decorative cast-iron balconies; 3 rounded, slated dormer windows above.

4- and 12-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case windows, fixed? plate glass glazing to 1st floor outer right and dormers. Grey slates. Coped ashlar stacks with some cans, and ashlar-coped skews.

Statement of Interest

Good traditional High Street frontage above ground where reinstatement of the few missing sash and case windows would enhance the property. Consent for improvement of shop front and display of canopy sign has been granted but not yet implemented. (August 1999).
