Description
Terraced single-bay two-storey house, built c.1850, with historic timber shopfront to ground floor, in use as commercial premises. Pitched artificial slate roof, clay ridge tiles, large rendered chimneystack to west, shared with adjoining house. Metal gutter to overhanging eaves. Painted ruled-and-lined render walling with rendered soldier quoins to west end only. Square-headed window opening, painted stone sill, replacement aluminium window.

Appraisal
A curiously narrow building that shares its roof with the adjoining building to the west. It may originally have formed part of a larger building, although the window hights don't line up. With its good shopfront, it is an integral part of the historic urban fabric, contributing to the architectural landscape of the historic town core.
