Square-headed window openings, painted moulded render architraves, painted stone sills, painted timber two-over-two sliding sash windows to ground floor, casement windows to first floor, cast- and wrought-iron window guards to ground floor. Square-headed shopfront, with offset recessed entrance, to south of main elevation, plate glass display window, painted timber frames, encaustic tiled stallriser, painted timber glazed doors with plain-glazed overlight, monochromatic chequerboard tiled threshold.

Appraisal
Decorative render mouldings, decorative carving evident in the timber shopfront and the tiled entrance threshold, add to the building's artistic interest. The use of encaustic tiling on the stallriser is of particular interest.
