Appraisal
This well proportioned building forms part of a pair with its neighbour to the east, sharing a parapet height, roof height and fenestration pattern. Red brick is used to good decorative effect in the cornice, and the building retains salient features including timber sash windows and granite sills. The paired doors to the shopfront, one to the shop and one to the accommodation upstairs, was typical of commercial premises in the past.
