Description
Terraced three-bay four-storey former house, built c. 1830, now in use as retail outlet. Pitched slate roof with rendered parapet and rendered chimneystack. Rendered walls having string course at sill levels of second and third floors. Timber sliding sash windows set in segmental-arched openings to upper floors. Ground floor altered and shopfront inserted, shared with the adjoining building to the north.
Appraisal
This former house forms part of an interesting group with the adjoining terrace on the west side of North Main Street and with the terrace on the east side of the street. The scale and form of these buildings make a 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 notable features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, segmental-arched openings and slate roof.
