2-storey and attic 3-window scribed roughcast front with slate roof and modern dormers; splayed sash glazed oriels to either end of 1st floor and separate shop fronts to ground floor. The chief interest of this building is the exceptional Art Nouveau shop front to No 39.

Colonnettes and foliage spandrels to shop window which curves in to central entrance with ‘tesselated doormat’ and half glazed door with inscribed frosted glass.

The interior of the jewellers retains original fittings, said to be by Pollards of London, including all round glazed cabinets and frosted glass panels. To the rear is a C17 staircase with turned balusters and plain handrail.
