Description
Detached three-bay three-storey house, built c.1780, with return to rear and disused early twentieth-century shopfront to east. Fronts directly onto street. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Pebbledashed walls with smooth render to quoins and plinth. Ruled-and-lined render to ground floor shopfront. Paired timber sash windows with tooled stone sills. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber and glass door with overlight. Shopfront with double timber door, flanked by display windows with timber fascia board. Wrought-iron gate to west.
Appraisal
This well proportioned, but modestly designed house is enhanced by the retention of its original form and fabric such as the paired timber sash windows. The smaller windows at second floor level are a notable feature, indicating an eighteenth-century date for the house. The later addition of the shopfront reflects a dual function for the house. Located at the western end of Shinrone, this building contributes positively to the streetscape.
