The right of main range is a two-storey possibly one-room plan range, which is possibly all that remains of an earlier build.

Eight large panes to each shop window. The shop front continues around left-hand (east) return with a carved cornice. Central doorway to shop with glazed and panelled door, rectangular overlight and pilasters supporting shaped brackets in turn supporting bay window above right-hand doorway to house with rectangular overlight and flat canopy on shaped brackets.
