15 AND 16, HILL'S LANE

A pair of shops, likely originally a single dwelling, dating from the late 16th century with alterations in the early 19th century. The building is constructed with exposed timber framing and brick nogging in the rear elevation, and has a plain tiled roof. It is two storeys with an attic, and has a three-window front. A shop front has been inserted in number 16, and a central door provides access to number 15. A largely rebuilt, full-height canted bay is present in the left-hand gable, featuring casement windows with leaded upper panes. To the right are 16-pane and 12-pane sash windows with flat-arched brick heads. The right-hand gable displays brick nogging and exposed timber framing, which is likely a replacement from around 1900, and includes a four-light casement window. A wide gabled dormer is situated on the right side, and gable end stacks are present. This property has group value in demonstrating the character of this area.
