Description
Former drapers shop. Two and a half storey detached building prominently positioned directly onto the pavement. Steeply pitched gable roof with ridgeline running parallel with the carriageway. Tall diamond shaped double flue brick chimneys with over-sailing courses to gable ends. Decorative red ridge tiles. Roof laid in blue/grey clay tiles with red tiles used to create decorative diamond pattern.
Three dormers break eaves line, central of which is catslide in form and outer two are large gabled
dormers, the apex of which are decorated with applied painted timber with painted pebble-dashed
panels. Unusual because it is largely constructed of rubblestone with decorative hung tiles to first floor.
Ground floor retains attractive 19th century shop front despite conversion of building to domestic
dwelling. Also timber mullion and transom window to ground floor contained beneath red brick arch. Three timber mullion and transom windows to first floor. This is an architecturally flamboyant building that attracts attention due to its use of assorted construction material, contrast in colours and textured and patterned surfaces. The building retains the majority of its original external features and architectural detailing and makes a positive visual contribution to the street scene. Architect – William Taylor. A Local Building of Note within the Conservation Area (B1).
