Channelled rendered pilasters and panels to shopfront. Square-headed window openings with render sills, fixed uPVC display windows and rendered stall risers. Square-headed carriage arch to eastern end of front elevation, having render hood moulding, keystone and fascia with moulded surround.

Appraisal
Originally built as three houses, this section of terrace has been unified into a single retail unit. Render details such the block-and-start window surrounds, sill course and hood mouldings help tie the once separate dwellings together as a single coherent unit. Its wide eaves and camber-headed openings are characteristic features of Clonakilty's historic core.
