48, Sadler Gate

No. 48 Sadler Gate is a late 17th-century building constructed of red brick with stone dressings, which are now painted. It stands three storeys high and features four 18th-century sash windows. The windows on the second storey have stone mullions and transoms. Above the first storey windows, there is a moulded stone cornice, and the building has a moulded stone eaves cornice along with a stone-capped brick parapet that is ramped to a shaped Dutch gable end. The building has a well-preserved contemporary doorway on the right-hand side, which is framed by a heavy 17th-century stone surround that includes a round-headed arch, pilasters, a pulvinated frieze, a cornice, and a segmental pediment with the date 1675 inscribed in the tympanum. The building was well restored in 1974.
