Square-headed window opening with fixed timber-framed display window over timber sill and rendered stall riser. Square-headed door opening having glazed timber door and overlight.
Appraisal
Built as one of four similarly scaled houses, these interesting buildings display unusually narrow façades. The group occupies an important position in the commercial centre and greatly enhances the streetscape. The wide eaves and camber-headed openings add to its historic character.
