Forms the south eastern end of a terrace of ten mid C19th buildings, on the corner between High Street and Effingham Crescent, the signs for which are attached to this building just above the ground floor level. The whole build is very slightly advanced from its north western neighbour, and there is an original gutter down pipe located within the angle between these two buildings. The shop front of this building covers the whole of the ground floor on the north eastern and south eastern side, with the south eastern corner at a slight angle to the rest of the building (this angle is only at the ground floor level and does not continue onto the floors above). The shop front is particularly good with many surviving C19th features. These include: the window and door surrounds, turned corner posts and fluted pilasters between the windows, the consoles over the pilasters, the fascia containing the commercial signage and the cornice at the top of the ground floor. All of which are in a good condition and some of which are highly decorative. The upper floors on the north eastern side of the building are in an exposed stock brick. There are two windows per floor, aligning across the floors. All of these have rendered and painted (white) flat gauged brick arches above and small protruding sills. There is a slight parapet above the second floor windows, this is rendered and un-painted. On the south eastern (side) elevation the upper floors are rendered and painted white, apart from at the roof level which is un rendered, and there are no openings. There are some cracks to this render and two large structural pins are located at the base of the roof level, with iron staining associated with these pins below. There is a two-storey extension at the south western side of this elevation, the commercial shop front does not continue onto this extension which is also rendered, though not painted. Within this extension there is a single door at the ground floor level with a moulded architrave, a small circular window on the south western side of the door, a rectangular first floor window located centrally and with a decorative pediment in plaster above, and a moulded plaster cornice at the eaves level. The south western (rear) elevation is also rendered thought the paintwork on this render is flaking away and cracked in some locations. Three windows are visible within the main façade, and a further two within the rendered extension. On the main façade there is one each on the first and second floor and one between the floors, presumably lighting a stair. There is a further single story extension on the north western side of this façade, it immediately abuts the rendered extension on the south western side and is likely a later addition, clad in timber weatherboards. A few modern features are attached to the façade at various locations, including a large security system, the wiring for which crosses the façade but is grouped tidily. Overall the building is in a good condition with many surviving original features.

The ground floor commercial shop front is almost entirely glazed and although the window frames, including the turned corner posts and timber pilasters are original, it is likely that the large glass panes are a later insertion. The main ground floor access is through a door located centrally within the north eastern façade. This is set within a recessed porch area and is in timber painted black with a large glazed panel in its upper half. The returns towards the door are also glazed and there is a large rectangular window above the transom over the door. The frames of all the openings at the ground floor level are painted white and in a good condition. There is a further door at the ground floor level located on the south eastern façade, within the two story extension. This is a likely original timber panelled door painted black. There is a large square window above the transom over this door with opaque glass and there is a small circular window, divided into multiple panes by timber glazing bars, on the south western side of the door. There is a single window at the first floor level on this south eastern façade, located centrally within the two story extension, this is divided into three parts by timber mullions, each of these three parts is divided into nine small panes by timber glazing bars. There are four windows on the upper floors of the north eastern elevation, two per floor aligning across the floors. All are original timber framed sashes divided into 12 panes by timber glazing bars (three wide by four high). There is an original dormer window located centrally at the roof level, this is divided into two parts by a timber mullion, each part consists of a timber framed sash divided into six panes by timber glazing bars. All of these timber window frames are painted white, this paintwork is chipped on the dormer window. There are three windows and an original six pane dormer window visible within the main façade on the south western rear elevation. Those on the first and second floor are timber framed sashes, though of a possible slightly later date. There are two visible within the contemporary extension and a further large window in the later extension. The window within the later extension is highly decorative, divided into five parts with stained glass and appears to be original taken from the building and placed within the later extension. Overall, despite some chips to the paintwork all visible windows are in a good condition with all panes present and in tact.

The roof is set back slightly from the main façade, behind a rendered parapet. It is mansard and in slate, there is metallic flashing on the angle. There are two, possibly original dormer windows, on the north eastern side and another on the south western. A brick axial stack is located over the north western party wall. The roof of the two story extension on the south western side of the building appears to be gabled, with the gable end over the south western end. It was not clearly seen as it is located behind a slight parapet. The roof of the later extension is also gabled with the gable end at the south western end, again this was not clearly seen. All roof structures appear to be in a good condition with no bowing or obvious slipped slates. (1)
