Square-headed window openings with render sills to rear (south) elevation, having replacement timber casement windows. Recently inserted full-width square-headed window opening to ground floor front elevation, having fixed single-pane timber-framed display windows with overlights and rendered stall riser. Cast-iron supporting columns visible to interior. Square-headed door opening having double-leaf glazed timber doors surmounted by overlight and glazed timber battened sidelight.
Appraisal
The expansive facade of this fine building with its narrow camber-headed windows is an unusual feature in this terrace of historic houses. The retention of features such as the sash windows, cast-iron rainwater goods and rendered quoins greatly enliven the building's facade and consequently the streetscape.
