35, CLOSE

No. 35 Close is a house and warehouse complex that likely dates from the 16th century and later. The building features a mix of render, sandstone, brick with some ashlar dressings, and timber framing, topped with renewed pantiled roofs and some Welsh slate. It consists of three ranges, originally positioned at the river's edge but now facing onto artificial fill, arranged around a courtyard enclosed by a wall at the street front.

The high, wide rendered wall includes boarded double vehicle doors and connects two rendered gables. The left gable features tripartite sashes, while the right has wood-mullioned openings. At the rear of the yard is a rendered house that consists of two builds. The left build is two storeys high with three bays, featuring a wide doorway on the left, a central sash with glazing bars, and a tripartite sash on the right. The upper floor has a sash in a wide box and a Venetian window with broad glazing bars. The right build is slightly taller with two storeys and two bays, showcasing a six-panelled door with a wooden architrave and bracketed cornice. The first floor has a two-light casement and a renewed sash.

The left range, made of stone and brick, has two storeys and five bays. The first build, attached to the house, has varied openings with segmental brick arches, a vehicle entrance on the left, and a boarded door with an overlight on the right. There are also some sashes and upper wood-mullioned openings. The second build features a first-floor four-panelled door and sash windows, with a slate roof hipped to the street.

The right range, constructed of stone, has two storeys and attics with eight irregular bays. It includes an irregular stone arch leading to a boarded ground-floor entrance in the second bay, and a blocked arch in the fifth bay with a chamfered elliptical head. There are stone steps leading to a boarded door under a stone lintel in the third bay. The range contains stacks of loading doors, with the top door located under the gable in bays four and seven, and a crane positioned above in bay seven. The first floor features wood mullions to square openings with flat stone lintels, and the roof has three segmental-headed dormers. Inside the left range's first build, there is an arched tie beam and a king-post roof, with the ridge set in one side of broadened posts.
