Pitched artificial slate roof, cement ridge tiles, rendered chimneystack to east shared with adjoining house. Metal gutter to projecting rendered eaves with small paired corbels. Painted ruled-and-lined rendered walling, square-headed window openings and painted stone sills. Six-over-six replacement timber sash windows, tripartite to west bay. Symmetrical timber shopfront, with two fixed-pane display windows, timber sill, raised and fielded stall risers on painted limestone plinth course.

Appraisal
This modest building has been sympathetically renovated employing traditional style sash windows and a good shopfront. It is a good example of a successful façade restoration. Built as one of three similar structures, it forms part of an important late nineteenth-century terrace, an integral part of the urban fabric of Main Street and enhances the architectural landscape of the historic town core.
