14 And 16, Stafford Street

Nos. 14 and 16 Stafford Street is a house or pair of houses that have been converted into shops and a flat. The building dates from the 17th century, with alterations made in the mid to late 19th century. It has a rendered exterior over a timber frame that is lined to resemble ashlar. The roof is covered with plain tiles. The framing consists of square panels, and the building likely has two or three framed bays.

It stands two storeys tall with an attic and features a small gabled eaves dormer on the left, which has a two-light wooden casement window. The front has three windows: a 19th-century wooden cross window on the left, a 19th-century flat-roofed canted bay window slightly off-centre to the left, and a 19th-century three-light wooden casement window on the right. The building also has a pair of late 19th-century shop fronts with plate-glass windows, pilastered surrounds, fascias, and cornices supported by carved scrolled brackets. The left-hand gable end is rendered, likely over timber framing. The interior has only been partially inspected, but it features pairs of ovolo-moulded ceiling beams on the ground floor and square-panel framing in the right-hand end wall.
