"Institute with shop units. Early C18. Roughcast stone with ashlar dressings, slate roof. 2 storeys with attic, 5 bays. Ashlar base, bands over windows and cornice; quoins. Round-headed windows with imposts and keys are sashed with glazing bars. Attic has hipped dormers with slate-hung cheeks and horizontally sliding sashes with glazing bars. Entrance has eared architrave, panelled pilasters, pulvinated frieze and consoled segmental pediment with fanlight. Gable-end stacks. Left return is blank. Interior altered in C19 when building became Institute, the dormers probably being added at this time."
