Render shopfront comprising render pilasters and console brackets flanking channelled render pilasters, in turn flanking square-headed opening with render fascia and moulded cornice, timber display window and glazed timber door with overlight. Canopy to shopfront.
A notable building on the street as one approaches the centre of Gort from the south. The façade is enhanced by the retention of timber sliding sash windows and by the simple and well maintained shopfront. The scale of this building is larger than other house and shop combinations within the town, and may have been originally two houses.
