History
Built in the C18 and shown on the 1829 town plan as a house. The ground floor was converted to 2 premises, one with a shop, in the C19, listed as a draper's in 1886.
Exterior
A Georgian 2½-storey 3-bay former house converted to a shop then a restaurant, of scribed roughcast and steep slate roof with skylights and replacement brick stack to the L. The form of the original 3-bay house remains discernible, with openings in rendered architraves. The central entrance has a panelled door and to its L is a tripartite 12-pane horned sash window replaced in an original opening. In the upper storey is a central 12-pane hornless sash window and similar but tripartite windows in the outer bays. C19 insertions are a doorway to the L of centre with a replacement half-glazed door. In the R-hand bay of the lower storey the original window has been replaced by a shop front comprising half-glazed doors with flanking plate-glass windows, and simple panelled pilasters and fascia.
Interior
Not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as a former house and shop retaining C18 and C19 character and detail, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Castle Street.
