Appraisal
This well scaled building provides an interesting focal point on its narrow street. The overall balance of the Georgian style design conforms with the other buildings that form this terrace thus contributing to the rhythm of the streetscape. The use of slate hanging to the front elevation distinguishes it from its neighbours. The shop front possesses simple artistic detail in the form of rounded-headed glazing bars and oval overlights.
