Composition
Per Historic England, the building is constructed of orange-grey brick in Flemish bond on the front of the building and in English garden-wall bond at the rear.[2]
The building has a two-storey, two-window façade. The shopfront, which is made of timber, is framed in sunken-panel pilasters below a sunken-panel fascia. It has a moulded cornice, with scrolled foliate consoles. The four-light shop window sits above a raised panel riser and, to the right, a pair of sunken-panel doors. Except for the doors, which have a blocked overlight, this section curves outward to meet the adjacent number 4 High Petergate. Another door, on the left of the shopfront window, is four-panelled with an overlight.[2]
The windows of the first floor are twelve-pane sashes.[2]
The interior has not been inspected.[2]
