Description
Former grocer’s shop. Two and a half storey building set slightly back from the rear edge of the
pavement behind a low metal railings. Front elevation constructed with brown brick with buff
coloured quoins, window arches and stringcourse. Relatively steep pitched gable roof with ridgeline
running parallel with the carriageway. Brick end stacks. Two gables of varying widths break the
eaves line, that to the left (facing) positioned above a two storey canted bay. Entrance door
positioned off centre on ground floor, flanked to the right (facing) by two modern bay windows.
This portion of the front elevation has been rebuilt. Despite alterations to the ground floor
fenestration, this building has been identified as a local note building because of its scale and visual
prominence. The colour of the brown bricks on the principle elevation is usual and used in contrast
with buff coloured bricks increases the visual prominence of the building. Local Building of Note in conservation area (1).
