Pitched (shared) roof (hipped to return) with replacement artificial slate, pre-1999, clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, replacement square rooflight, pre-1999, and cast-iron rainwater goods on overhanging rendered eaves. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills, and replacement uPVC casement windows, pre-1999. Rendered shopfront, c.1880, to ground floor with panelled pilasters, replacement uPVC casement windows, pre-1999, on stone sill, replacement glazed uPVC panelled door, pre-1999, rendered fascia over having triglyph stops, and moulded cornice. Road fronted with concrete footpath to front.
Appraisal
An appealing, small-scale house incorporating a fine rendered shopfront of artistic design merit, which has survived intact despite the re-adaptation of the ground floor to residential use. However, the substantial replacement of the remainder of the original fabric has not had a positive impact on the external appearance of the house. Nevertheless, the house remains an important component of the streetscape of Chapel Street.
