Six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows to first floor, six-over-three pane timber sliding sash windows to second floor, replacement timber casement windows to ground floor. Square-headed window opening with render sill to ground floor of front elevation, within former door opening, having render hood moulding and replacement timber casement window over tooled limestone step. Render shopfront to front elevation, comprising pilasters, frieze and moulded cornice. Square-headed window opening with render sill, having fixed multiple-pane timber-framed display window over rendered stall riser.
