Two shops with accommodation to rear, first floor converted to flats. C1830s with an earlier core. Shop front c1880s. Plastered; gabled slate roof; right end stack (shaft dismantled), axial stacks with old pots; cast-iron rainwater goods.
Plan: L-plan. The main block is 2 rooms wide and double-depth with a rear right wing at right-angles, projecting into a rear court behind Fore Street. There is some fragmentary internal evidence of an earlier core.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. Asymmetrical but regular 3-bay front, the centre bay, with banded rustication, broken forward. Deep eaves with a dentil cornice. Platband at first-floor level, outer bays have eaves band with string course below. The centre bay on the ground floor has a shop front with doorway to right. Pilasters with sunk panels and triglyph-decorated capitals flank doorway and shop front with a continuous cornice on shallow moulded consoles. Recessed, glazed shop door with overlight and sunk panelled reveals to the doorcase. Ground-floor window left is a C19 tripartite sash with 16 panes in the centre and 4 in the outer lights. To right of the front a recessed 6-panel C19 door with overlight to No.4 with panelled reveals to the doorcase. 2 outer first-floor windows are early C19 16-pane sashes in shallow round-headed recesses. Similar central first-floor window in a square recess with floating cornice.
INTERIOR: altered for shop use with some partitions removed. Rear left room retains a C19 kitchen range in the fireplace. Rear right room has a corner fireplace, probably c1700 in origin, and a chamfered cross beam which may also be early C18. Roof said to be concealed for fireproofing but probably of interest. Other details: Listed Building number: 392265.
