Full Description

PRN 38653 [Note - where there is confusion or discrepancy between sources regarding the date of a building, the Royal Commission survey (which is the most detailed and recent) has been taken as the most reliable.] This house was built around 1820 by Thomas Mills, the druggist who had the house and shop next door (nos. 18 and 19 - see PRN 38612), and it is in a style that conforms with its neighbour. It has a modern shop front. {1} This three storey house with attics dates from the mid 18th century [this date is probably incorrect - see above]. It is constructed of ashlar stone with a slate mansard roof and has a 19th century and modern shop front. For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {2}{3} During a site visit in May 2014 the Conservation Officer noted that the original dog-leg staircase with balusters and handrail survives between first and second floor and that there is a surviving 19th century fire grate in the attic. {4}
