Cottage At Rear Of Number 11 Number 9 And Attached Outbuildings

This early 17th-century house with attached outbuildings, now a restaurant, has undergone several alterations and extensions across the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. The house’s front is timber-framed and stuccoed, while the rear is of orange-brown brick in an English garden-wall bond. The roofs are slate, with a massive brick ridge stack to the right range.

The three-story house has a twin-gabled front with jettied first and second floors. A mid-19th century shopfront features a half-glazed door flanked by large-pane windows. A former passage door with fielded panels and divided overlight is on the left end. The first and second floors have two-story canted bay windows with a combination of 8-pane and 20-pane sashes, while the second floor also features 5-light casement windows with small-pane glazing and pent roofs. Attic windows are 2x2-pane Yorkshire sashes. The rear has a twin-gabled front, largely obscured by outbuildings, with squat 16-pane sashes in the attic. A moulded brick surround remains from a blocked original window in the right gable.

The outbuildings, constructed of red brick in stretcher bond (partly rendered), have slate roofs, some hipped, and brick stacks. Part of the outbuildings is entered from the rear of No.9. The front towards No.11 features a 20th-century pent extension, a board door, a 16-pane sash window with a segmental brick arch, a louvred door, and a 2x6-pane Yorkshire sash window. The rear, towards No.7, has 12-pane sash windows and a brick string course.

The interior of the house includes a staircase to the second floor with a close string, turned balusters, square newels, moulded handrail, and a plain fireplace with an early 19th-century hob grate. A front room on the second floor features a brick fireplace with a 3-centred arch; another room contains a stone fireplace with an incised keyblock and cast-iron grate, and a plank cupboard door on H-hinges. Significant portions of the timber frame, walls, and partitions remain intact on the second floor. The attic contains collar rafter trusses, rafters carried on single purlins, partition walls of studs with plastered brick infill, and 2- and 3-panel doors. A portion of the outbuilding is owned by the occupants of No.11.
