Historic building

Detached four-bay single-storey house and shop, built c.1930, having simple shopfront to northern end of front (east) elevation. Now disused. Pitched tiled roof with looped terracotta ridge cresting, rendered chimneystack, cast-iron rainwater goods and timber bargeboards to gables. Corrugated-iron walls with concrete plinth. Square-headed window openings having timber-framed tripartite windows containing central one-over-one pane timber sliding sash window and fixed three-pane sidelights. Square-headed window opening to shopfront window having fixed six-pane timber-framed display window. Square-headed door openings with glazed timber and timber battened doors having single-pane overlights. Petrol pump to front. Corrugated-iron outbuilding to north.

An interesting building, unusually for its corrugated-iron construction. Corrugated-iron became popular as a construction material in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and due to its increasing rarity, is now recognised as a significant traditional building material. Its modest form is enlivened by features such as the terracotta ridge cresting, tripartite windows and coloured glass. The shop display window and cast-iron filling pump indicate that it also functioned as a commercial outlet.
