What is recorded here

Terraced three-bay two-storey former house, built c. 1840, now in use as shop. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls, having render quoins and plinth to front (south-west) elevation. Square-headed window openings with render sills and uPVC casement windows to first floor having moulded render surrounds. Square-headed window openings to ground floor having render surrounds, comprising fluted pilasters, scrolled consoles and shallow cornice canopies. Having chamfered rendered sill and stall riser to eastern opening with fixed single-pane uPVC display window. Render sill and uPVC casement window to western opening. Square-headed door opening with raised render surround, comprising fluted render pilasters, scrolled consoles, moulded architrave and camber-headed pediment with raised render lettering to tympanum. Having glazed uPVC door, fronting directly onto street.
Simple but well executed decorative features including quoins and window surrounds greatly enliven the façade of this modestly sized building and contribute to the variety of the streetscape. Classical architectural influences can clearly be seen in other decorative features including pilasters, cornices and pediments to the ground floor openings.
