Town house now shop and storage. Probably C17 origin,
refurbished early C20. Timber framing to front with plaster
panels; rear wall not visible; small grey slates to roof,
ridge parallel with front.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys now expressed as 3 narrow bays. The front
has freely expressed planted Classical features, probably
added 1900-1910. Shopfront with 4 pilasters: entrance right
with door of one pane above a pair of fielded panels,
sidelights with fielded sub-panels and a simple overlight;
rendered aprons to two shop windows; timber fascia with
modillion cornice. The upper storeys are close-studded with
only one cross-rail at attic floor-level. 4 planted timber
pilasters rising from fascia-cornice to eaves. The tall first
floor has unpierced central bay and a flush casement of two
6-pane lights in pedimented case standing proud of wall-face
to each side-bay. The short attic storey has a 9-pane circular
central window breaking the cross-rail; moulded timber string
above cross-window and curving above window. Modillion eaves
cornice.
INTERIOR not inspected, but the facade suggests possible
characteristics of interest in the upper storeys.
Building vacant at time of survey (April 1992).
