What is recorded here

Semi-detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1840, having shopfront to front (north) elevation, formerly also in use as shop. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with render sills to front elevation, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Render shopfront comprising pilasters flanking opening, surmounted by frieze with raised porcelain lettering and moulded cornice. Square-headed window opening with render sill, having fixed three-over-three pane timber-framed display window with shoulder heads. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber door and single-pane overlight.

The simple symmetry of the design and the retention of historical features such as fine shopfront, slate roof and timber sash windows help this building, along with its attached neighbour, make a significant contribution to the streetscape. The porcelain lettering is a particularly interesting feature as it was more commonly used in urban areas and is now increasingly rare.
