Terraced three-bay four-storey former house, built 1884, now in use as retail outlet and offices. Pitched slate roof having red brick chimneystack and red brick parapet.

Ground floor altered, full-width shopfront inserted having fixed windows and doors.

Appraisal

This building forms part of an interesting 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 the moulded brick detail and segmental-arched openings.
