house

Terraced three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1910, with shopfront to ground floor, three-bay single-storey house to south, and with later two-storey lean-to extension to south gable of larger and rear of smaller building. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Smooth rendered walls to front and south elevation, having render quoins and plinth to front, and roughcast render to rear. Square-headed window openings with moulded render surrounds and painted sills, having timber sliding sash one-over-one panes, double to end bays of first floor. Shopfront has panelled timber pilasters with rendered plinths and supporting consoles, having plain fascia with moulded cornice and rendered stall riser. Recessed doorway with double-leaf timber panelled door with leaded coloured glass overlight and timber battened double-leaf gate, and vertically-divided display windows with leaded coloured glass overlights. Three-bay single-storey house to south having pitched artificial slate roof, rendered walls and square-headed one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, being double flanking timber battened door.

The broad street frontage and relative height of this building makes it an imposing feature in the town. The moulded render window surrounds and quoins add textural interest to the façade as well as emphasising and enhancing its structural properties. The recessed doorway is typical of traditional shopfront design, but the high saloon style swing doors to the front are an unusual and distinctive feature. The smaller house to the south has many of the features of the larger, such as the double sash windows.
