Description
Corner-sited end-of-terrace two-bay three-storey former house, built c. 1860, now in use as retail outlet. Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls with moulded render surrounds to openings and having string courses at sill level of upper floors. Timber sliding sash windows to upper floors. Remains of timber shopfront, c. 1900, comprising of pilasters flanking fixed window and door, with fascia and consoles above.
Appraisal
The scale and form of this former house make a positive contribution to the streetscape and it forms part of a notable terrace with the adjoining buildings to the south. The moulded render detail enlivens the façade, and the building is enhanced by the retention of the timber sliding sash windows, slate roof and timber shopfront. The shopfront is a particularly interesting feature of the building, as simple and well executed shopfronts such as this one are becoming increasingly rare in the urban landscape.
