Description
Terraced two-bay four-storey former house, built c. 1830, now in use as bank. Pitched slate roof having rendered parapet and rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls. Timber sliding sash windows to upper floors. Full-width timber shopfront, c. 2000, shared with the adjoining building to the south.
Appraisal
This former house forms part of a significant group with the adjoining terrace on the east side of North Main Street and with the terrace on the west side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. Built on the site of the medieval city, many of these buildings contain archaeological fabric. The building is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows and slate roof.
