EXTERIOR: 4 storeys plus attics, including street and Row levels, of one bay. Modern shopfront to street of no interest in C19 frame with timber panelled pilasters and fascia. Timber Row-front rail has cusped ogees between turned balusters to heavy moulded rail; red sandstone end-piers through street and Row storeys. sloping stallboard and the Row walk have surfaces covered; brick, now pebbledashed, endwalls to stallboard and moulded brick arches across Row-walk. The C19 shopfront has door, west, and a 6-light mullioned and transomed window. The end-piers have moulded sandstone capitals carrying paired jetty-brackets and shaped brackets to the bressumer which supports 14 smaller jetty-brackets. Moulded jetty-beam; 10 panels beneath a continuous 10-light mullioned and transomed window of which the central 6 lights form a canted oriel; the panes beneath the transom are replaced and those above, under ogee heads, are leaded; carved frieze and moulded cornice over the oriel. A barleysugar colonnette on each end-post carries a shaped reeded bracket to support the fourth storey jetty-beam; 3 secondary jetty-brackets to each side of oriel. The fourth storey has a central square mullioned-and-transomed bay window, above 5 arched panels, of 6-lights to front with panes beneath transom replaced and those above it, under ogee heads, leaded; each side of the bay-window has a part-glazed door with leaded overlight to a corner balcony with spirally-moulded railings and Tudor arches with carved spandrels to front and sides. The attic storey, boldly jettied above the bay window, has 8 quatrefoil panels to the front and one in each return.
