Architecture and continuing use
Painted rubble rises two storeys to a single canted attic dormer. A pilastered doorway and two ground-floor windows sit below paired first-floor openings, while an eaves course, cornice and blocking course give the narrow frontage a formal top.
Its story
The building belongs to the early growth of Hamilton Street, whose mostly two-storey fronts were later adapted with shops. Present marketing describes a let shop, office and one-bedroom flat, demonstrating continued mixed use rather than a single historic function.
Why it is included
It represents the scale and incremental adaptation of the Hamilton Street group without reproducing every similar listed address.
What to notice
- The pilastered doorway.
- The lone canted dormer above the paired first-floor windows.
- Where modern commercial alterations meet the older rubble front.
Reading the surroundings

What we know — and what remains uncertain
A property listing is a time-limited source and does not guarantee that sale or tenancy details remain unchanged. The record therefore describes the checked evidence and avoids naming an unverified occupier.
