Pitched artificial slate roof with moulded eaves course, red brick chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls. Segmental-headed window openings to upper floors with stone sills and timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows. Timber shopfront with panelled pilasters, moulded cornice, decorative brackets, fasciaboard and glazed screen to top with coloured and textured glass.

Square-headed door openings with decoratively-glazed timber doors and overlights having coloured and textured glass.
Appraisal
The height of this shopfront gives it an elegant appearance, and the decorative use of glass in the façade and the entrance porches makes it distinctive in this streetscape. The symmetry of the entrance openings and the well-proportioned upper floor windows all contribute to a pleasing façade.
