Description
Terraced two-bay three-storey former house, built c. 1860, now in use as bank. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls. Segmental-arched openings to upper floors with timber sliding sash windows. Full-width timber shopfront, c. 2000, shared with the adjoining building to the north.
Appraisal
This former house forms part of a significant group with the adjoining terrace on the east side of North Main Street and with the terrace on the west side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a notable and positive contribution to the streetscape. Built on the site of the medieval city, many of these buildings contain archaeological fabric. This building is enhanced by the retention of interesting features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, segmental-arched openings and slate roof.
