Appraisal
Prominently sited at the junction of High Street and Barrack Street, this building is a good example of a town house with ground floor shop. The slight asymmetry to the façade suggests that it may have originally been built as a pair of two distinct buildings. The decorative render is typical of such commercial structures and adds artistic interest to the façade.
