History

Probably built in the early C19 and shown on the 1829 town plan as a house. The lower storey was converted to a shop in the C19 and was a butcher's shop in 1886 and an ironmongery by 1910.

Exterior

A 3-storey 4-bay house and shop of scribed render front, slate roof and end roughcast stacks. The shop front is late C20, and has double panel doors L of centre under an overlight, and 5 round-headed lights to the shop window on the R, all beneath a plain fascia. On the L side is a 2-storey bow window, with plain glazing in the lower storey, wider and projecting on brackets in the middle storey with 2-pane sashes. Windows in the middle and upper storeys are grouped 3 1. In the middle storey are three 16-pane sash windows in moulded architraves, and in the upper storey sash windows of 12 panes.

The rear has hornless sash windows, inserted and replacement windows, and 2 doors in the upper storey with escape stairs.

Interior

Modernised interior, originally of double-depth plan. The rear has an open-well stair with wreathed handrail.
