Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, rendered eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with render sills, having uPVC casement windows and recent exterior timber louvre shutters.

The fine shopfront, which displays numerous decorative elements including fluted consoles, foliated motifs, masks and panelled pilasters, marks this building out in the streetscape. Well-designed and executed traditional shopfronts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and are often replaced by historic pastiche.
