Opening sentence of description amended to 'Granary store and partly disused at time of listing, now converted to apartments. Early C18 and later; of uncoursed rubble sandstone, rendered and painted on the front elevation, under a steeply-pitched pantiled roof. The eaves courses are of slate. Three storeys towards Quay Walls and four to the rear where there is a rearward wing enclosing a courtyard. The front range is eight windows in breadth and has two wide entrances from Quay Walls and an external stairway rising to a central doorway at first floor level. From the lower level of the quay a passageway through the walls gives on to the lower ground floor and to the rear courtyard. The interior has open galleries at each level, each with a central row of timber posts. Quay Walls at this point forms part of the Elizabethan walled defences enclosing the town and No 3 is built into them. It is probably the earliest surviving granary in the town.
