Early C20th building on the junction between High Street and Ladywell, the south-western High Street façade is narrow while the south eastern Ladywell Side is long and encompasses two properties. The ground floor is heavily inserted for a modern commercial use and is largely glazed. The door to the commercial ground floor is located on southern side of the High Street side and there is a window to the north of it. The ground floor of the Ladywell side may be divided into two parts; the southern part is entirely glazed while the northern is also mostly glazed with small square opaque glass bricks and there is a door at the far northern end. Between these two halves is an original door surround (the door has been blocked) with fluted pilasters and a semi-circular pediment over which is supported by decorative brackets and a date stone just below it (1907). The commercial fascia runs above the ground floor over the whole of the High Street side, and the northern half of the Ladywell side, it protrudes slightly from the face of the building and there is metallic flashing at the point where it meets the upper floors. The first floor is in an exposed red brick, there is a single centrally placed window on the High Street side and a further five on the Ladywell side. All have moulded architraves on the surrounds, painted white. The second floor is timbered with pained (white) pebble dash in the area between the timbers. The High Street and Ladywell street signs are attached to the brickwork at the first-floor level, both are near the south eastern corner of the building. The base of the timbered area aligns with the sills of the second-floor windows of which there are five; one on the High Street side and four on the Ladywell side, all aligning with those on the floor below though lacking the detail on the surrounds. The second-floor window on the high street side, and two of those on the Ladywell side have raised and timbered triangular pediments in the roof above. The eaves overhang and there is a timber fascia board located directly beneath them. A number of modern features are attached to both sides of the building, including a security system with its associated wiring as well as a number of plastic gutter down pipes. The brickwork is slightly stained in some locations but aside from this the building appears to be in a good condition and structurally sound.

The ground floor windows and doors are modern and associated with the commercial use of the building. The main ground floor door is located on the southern side of the High Street façade and is in timber painted blue with a single large glazed panel. There is a small rectangular window above the transom over this door. The rest of the high street side, and the northern half of the Ladywell side is glazed. There is a large square pane on the northern side of the door with three small rectangular panes above it. There are five large panes, each with two smaller rectangular panes above (10 in total) on the southern end of the Ladywell side. All the frames are painted white and in a good condition. The northern half of the ground floor on the Ladywell side is occupied by a large rectangular opening filled with small opaque glass bricks. There is a modern timber door painted white at the far northern end with a small rectangular window above the transom over the door. There are two further windows on the high street side, one per floor on the first and second floors, located centrally within the façade. Both are timber framed sashes, though only the first-floor window looks to be original. It is divided into two sashes by a timber mullion with the upper parts of each sash divided into multiple small panes by timber glazing bars. The first-floor windows on the Ladywell façade are in a similar style; all are timber framed sashes, with their upper parts divided into multiple smaller parts and two are divided into two sashes by a timber mullion. Three of the windows at the second-floor level have their upper parts divided into multiple panes, and the northernmost is divided into two sashes by a timber mullion. The southernmost second floor window, however, appears to be a later replacement. Overall despite some chips and dirt to the paintwork on the timber frames, all windows are in a good condition with all panes present and intact.

The roof is hipped and covered in ceramic tiles. There is a small amount of lichen growth on some of these tiles, but none appear to be slipped and most are in a good condition. The party wall between this building and No 3 Ladywell is gabled. There is a small amount of vegetation growth within the guttering at the eaves level, otherwise the roof appears to be in a good condition and structurally sound. (1)
