In 1977 occupied by Peter's Hair Fashion, W E Carew, and Rees, and in 2001 by Victoria Wine and by John Francis estate agents.

Twelve-pane horned sash windows to third and second floors. On first floor, 2 canted oriel windows with hipped slate roofs, and 3-9-3-pane glazing, the centre lights fixed.
