Hipped natural slate roof behind parapet wall, rendered c. 1970. A large red brick chimneystack to north and west party wall, each with clay pots. Cast-iron rainwater goods. Red brick walls throughout, laid in Flemish bond, with cement re-pointing. Square-headed window openings with patent rendered reveals, limestone sills and uPVC windows. Bricked-up segmental-arched window openings to west side elevation. Painted rendered shopfront to both elevations, inserted c. 1980, probably replacing an older shopfront, with two full-height display windows to south elevation and one to east elevation.

Appraisal
A key building in the streetscape situated at a prominent junction in the city. This building, with its unusual corner entrance bay, is more typical of late nineteenth-century commercial buildings. It forms the end of a terrace of relatively intact late Georgian buildings in the City.
