Appraisal
This former domestic dwelling, located in the heart of the historic city has, typically, had a shopfront set into the ground floor. The dressed limestone detailing of the ground floor is of high quality and the building is enhanced by the retention of some of its timber sliding sash windows. This building forms part of a composition with the neighbouring building to the south.
