Recent shopfronts to ground floor. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with parallel raised quoins. Square-headed windows having render surrounds to Shop Street and to first floor on High Street, with pulvinated friezes and moulded cornices to first floor and moulded surrounds to top floor. Mainly timber sliding sash windows, one-over-one pane to High Street, one being double, and Shop Street having two-over-two pane to top floor and one-over-one pane to first floor.

Appraisal
This is a good example of a commercial building dating from the late nineteenth century. It is prominently sited on The Square and is enhanced by the retention of timber sash windows.
