Appraisal
Set on a corner site in the village, this building makes a notable addition to the streetscape. The simple shopfront, with its brackets, cornice and fascia, is a reminder of the modest and discrete form which shopfronts often took in the past. The timber sash windows, fine slate roof, render detailing and wheel guard are interesting historic features.
