C19th (late) building which forms the corner of Biggin Street and New Street, also is the first in the terrace of Biggin Street (south of this is Cannon Street). The ground floor is heavily inserted for a modern commercial use and retains none of its original features. The upper floors appear to have been converted for use as flats, some of which are not occupied. The whole of the north eastern end of the ground floor (that closest to the street) forms a large entrance/porch area with display cabinets, while the main store is through a door set back behind the displays to the rear of the building. The fascia containing the commercial signage covers the whole of the Biggin Street side of the building and the far north eastern quarter of the New Street side. It protrudes slightly from the upper floors and there is a moulded cornice (likely original) with metallic flashing above this. The upper floors are in a painted (cream) brick and retain many of the original and decorative architectural features. At the first-floor level, on the Biggin Street side, there is a centrally placed canted bay window, the base of which rests on the protruding fascia and cornice over the ground floor. This bay had been divided into multiple panes by timber mullions, glazing bars and transoms, all of which are painted white, and is topped by a flat metal roof. The second-floor window is the same width as the first floor but is not a bay. It is divided into three sections by brick mullions, which area again divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars. Both the first and second floor windows are located within a slight recess on the façade, this recess is arched over the second-floor window and topped with a keystone. There is a string course at the base of the arch which aligns with the top of the second-floor window. Above the keystone over the arch is a plastered parapet, painted in a slightly darker cream colour. The south eastern corner of this building is at an angle to the rest of the building, two further windows (one per floor) are located within this angle. These windows are the same as those on the main façade (canted bay at first and divided into three at the second floor). The string course at the top of the second floor continues onto this corner and onto the north eastern part of the New Street Façade, as does the parapet over the second floor. At each side of this angled corner and over the northern party walls are decorative plaster pilasters, running from the base of the first floor up to the top of the parapet where they finish with spherical finials. There is a further pilaster on the New Street façade, this aligns with the end of the fascia and cornice over the ground floor. The roof in this section of the building is set back behind the parapet, it is mansard and has a large dormer on the Biggin Street side. The south western three quarters of the New Street Façade lack the decorative architectural details present on the Biggin Street side. It is in a painted brick with multiple openings in a variety of different sizes all with segmental brick arches over. Many of these are now blocked (mainly on the ground floor). This part of the building has an extra floor, level with the dormer facing Biggin Street. A string course runs along the base of this third floor, aligning with the base of the parapet to the north of it. The former site of a large, arched opening with keystone over is visible (though now blocked) and located centrally on the ground floor of the New Street façade. There are brick pilasters on either side of this arch which extend to the top of the fourth floor. A pediment is located between these two pilasters at the roof level, behind which is a plastered chimney stack. Multiple gutter down pipes run from the roof level down to the pavement across the façade. some of these are set within small, especially created recesses within the brick, while others are just attached to the brick, all are metal and painted black. There are a number of modern features located across the New Street Façade including wiring associated with security systems, lighting and a modern inserted doorway at the far south western end which gives access to the upper floors of the building. The south western (rear) façade is plastered and painted cream, there is a single square opening at the 1st/2nd floor level. Overall the building appears to be structurally sound and in a good, well kept condition. The Biggin Street façade retrains many of its original architectural details.

The ground floor openings on the Biggin Street side are heavily inserted and modern for a commercial use. The main door is set within a recessed porch area that contains display cabinets. Some of the other openings, across the first and second floors, look to be original. At the first-floor level, on the Biggin Street side, there is a centrally placed canted bay window. The windows base rests on the protruding fascia and cornice over the ground floor and it is topped by a flat metallic roof. This bay had been divided into multiple parts by timber mullions and transoms. The lower part of all three sides are timber sashes, the lower part of these sashes are divided into two panes, and the upper part into multiple small panes (eight in the central part, and six in each of the outer) by timber mullions. The upper part of the window consists of multiple smaller panes, aligning with the upper parts of each of the sashes below and which appear to be fixed. The second-floor window is the same width as the first floor but is not a bay. It is divided into three sections by brick mullions, all three sections are timber sashes, the upper part of which is divided into multiple smaller panes (four in the outer two and eight in the central) the central section being double the width of the two outer. The frames and surrounds are all in a painted (white) timber. The south eastern corner of this building is at an angle to the rest of the building, two further windows (one per floor) are located within this angle. Both windows are the same as those on the main façade - canted bay at first and divided into three at the second floor, though are very slightly narrower. There is dormer located behind a parapet at the roof level. This dormer is large, taking up most of the roof facing Biggin Street, and is divided into four parts by timber mullions, which are in turn divided into small panes by timber glazing bars. The openings on the New Street façade are numerous but lack the decorative details of those on the Biggin Street Façade and many of them have been either blocked or have been replaced by modern plastic windows.

The north eastern quarter (approx.) of the building, has a slate mansard roof set back behind the parapet with a large dormer. The dormer occupies most of the Biggin Street side of the roof and is divided into multiple panes. The rest of the building has a hipped roof in slate with ceramic ridge tiles, some of which are decorative. There is a plastered brick stack located centrally over the new street façade. (1)
