Terraced three-bay three-storey former house, built c. 1855, now in use as employment centre. Pitched tile roof with rendered chimneystack. Red brick walls to upper floors, with moulded render surrounds to openings and having moulded brick eaves course. Replacement uPVC windows having limestone sills to upper floors. Remains of timber shopfront, c. 1920, comprising of fixed windows and timber panelled doors, with fascia, cornice and above, and having wrought-iron screen to shop entrance.
The scale and form of this building make a positive contribution to the streetscape, and it forms part of a notable terrace with the adjoining buildings to the north and south. The building is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the moulded render detail and the fine shopfront. The wrought-iron entrance screen adds artistic interest to this simple, well executed shopfront.
