Southern end three storeys, northern end single (double height) storey. Ground floor commercial use, upper floors possible domestic. Eastern façade of ground floor, almost double height. The ground floor façade has been altered and is slightly later than the upper floors. Access door to upper floors at the southern end immediately abutting the south party wall, slightly recessed double timber door with two small steps up to it and lunette window above the transom over the door. Decorative moulded keystone above lunette window with further decorative moulding beneath a pediment over the door. Circular pilasters (made to look like columns) on either side of the door with moulded capitals. Lower 1/3rd of the ground floor is polished stone (possibly granite) along the whole eastern and northern façade with grey stone above. Four bays of unequal size on the eastern façade of the ground floor, southern most bay contains the door the other three each contain two windows. Southernmost and central windows start at approx. 1/3rd ground floor height (above the polished stone) all with lunette window above the main rectangular pane, and decoratively moulded keystone above lunette. Southernmost two windows closely spaced with semi-circular pilasters on either side and one between, each with a decoratively moulded capital. Central two windows have a larger gap between and both have pilasters on both sides. Unlike the windows on the southern and northern side, these have triangular pediments over with decorative moulding beneath the pediment. Northern two windows are larger than the others, near floor to ceiling height, closely spaced with pilasters with the same capitals on either side and one between as well as moulded keystones. There is a decorative stone or plaster (?) balustrade above the southern two windows between the ground and first floors. This is also present above the northern two windows of the eastern façade but the lack of an upper floor gives the appearance of a balcony here. There is an iron grill beneath the southern three windows at the pavement level indicating the presence of a basement below. The north eastern corner is set at an angle with a modern access door to the ground floor, this door has two of the same decorative pilasters (made to look like columns) which surround the windows, and a triangular pediment with decorative moulding above. The northern façade has two double height windows, closely spaced with lunette above and again featuring the pilasters and moulded keystone. There is another stone or plaster balustrade above again giving the impression of a balcony over the ground floor. First floor (only extending over the southern half of the building), eastern façade consists of three bays, single window on the outer bays and two on the central gives a symmetrical appearance. Southernmost window slightly offset from the ground floor door below but aligns with the 2nd floor window. All have decorative plaster mouldings immediately above. Two windows in the central bay are closely spaced and align with the southern two windows on the ground floor and the 2nd floor windows, window within the northern bay also align with ground floor and 2nd floor windows. 2nd floor windows all have a decorative triangular pediment above with moulded brackets/corbels. Below there is a slightly protruding sill with the area immediately below also protruding giving the appearance of a balconette (though there is none) this has been decoratively moulded and the northern and southern have original iron railings. There is a slight parapet hiding the roof above the 2nd floor windows. There is a fair amount of weathering on many of the decorative architectural details and some vegetation growth on the upper levels. The rear (western) façade is exposed brickwork in English bond. Ground floor access door offset from centre with window either side. Three windows on 1st and 2nd floor, the central one larger than the two outer on both floors. All are covered with rusted iron bars. Possibly original metal guttering and pipework running from roof to ground level. Backs directly onto public footpath (Gaol Lane). Is in much worse condition than the northern and eastern façade, much staining to the brickwork though appears to be structurally sound. Southern and central ground floor windows have timber surrounds which are not painted, the larger ground floor windows at the northern end of the building (on the north and eastern façades) are painted white. All have modern writing printed directly onto the glass for commercial purposes. 1st and 2nd floor windows all have tall rectangular single pane double casement windows (opening inwards) with small rectangular third pane above. There are no windows on the 1st and 2nd floor on the northern façade. Paintwork on timber surrounds is badly chipped and worn in places. Rear/western façade (backing directly onto footpath) windows are a mix of timber frame and pvc, all are very dirty with chipped and weathered paintwork on the timber framed examples. (1)
