Description
End-of-terrace two-bay four-storey commercial building, built c. 1950, now in use as surgery and flats. Flat roof with rendered chimneystack and rendered parapet. Rendered walls with decorative eaves course and projecting continuous reconstituted stone sills to upper floors.

Fixed timber windows and timber glazed door to shopfront. Timber panelled door with toplight approached by steps to ground floor.
Appraisal
This scale and form of this building makes a positive contribution to the streetscape. The building is an interesting example of mid twentieth-century design and construction, and retains many interesting features and materials, such as the timber panelled door, projecting continuous sill courses, and the unusual use of reconstituted stone.
