The recessed house entrance on the L side has a fielded-panel door and overlight, to the R of which is a similar former shop doorway. A 12-pane horned sash window has replaced a modernised shop front recorded in the previous survey. The middle storey has 12-pane horned sashes, the upper storey 9-pane hornless sashes in eared architraves.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as part of a terrace of mid C19 shops with houses of definite quality and character, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of Church Street.
