33, Wardwick

33 Wardwick is a 17th-century red brick house that stands four storeys tall and features two gables. The building has an L-shaped plan with a two-storey wing that has a balustraded parapet, which projects over a two-storey bay. Below the gables, there are two four-light bays, each two storeys high and also topped with a balustraded parapet. The house is adorned with stone dressings and has a moulded stone string-course that connects all the windows on each storey. The windows are rectangular with mullions, and on the ground and first storeys, they span the entire front, except for an arch-headed window that was once a coach arch on the left side of the ground storey. Each gable features a two-light mullioned window, moulded stone coping, and a stone ball finial. The modern doorway is set within a round-headed arch made of 17th-century stone, decorated with contemporary ornamentation and a segmental moulded pediment that displays the date 1611 in the tympanum. Inside, the building retains several features despite significant alterations, including overmantels and some panelling, although the staircase has been modernized. The building was well restored in 1974. Nos 25 to 31 (odd) and No 35 form a group.
