Dating from approximately 1870–1890, this charming two-storey, three-bay period property was formerly the village pharmacy/chemist and retains much of its original historic character. The property is recognised by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH Ref. 32315005) and is listed as Aclare Pharmacy on the Record of Protected Structures (CDP RPS 281).

The traditional street frontage, pitched natural slate roof, clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks and historic proportions combine to create a property of considerable charm and architectural interest.
