30, Cheshire Street

No. 30 Cheshire Street is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the mid-17th century and was partly rebuilt in the early 19th century, with a small addition from the 18th century at the rear. The building features a timber frame with red brick nogging set on high brick plinths, and the front has been rebuilt and extended in red brick, which is rendered. The roofs are covered in plain tiles and are hipped at the front.

The timber framing consists of square panels, with four panels running from the sole plate to the wall plate. The structure has three framed bays that are oriented at right angles to the road, although the front bay has been rebuilt. The building is three storeys high, with two storeys and an attic at the front and one storey and an attic at the rear. There is a dentil brick eaves cornice, a second-floor glazing bar sash window with a painted stone cill, and a first-floor four-pane sash window.

The shop front, which is from the 19th century, features a carved plate-glass window and a glazed door that is set back to the right. Some of the timber framing is visible at the rear of the front block. The rear range includes a large timber-framed gabled eaves dormer on the right, which has a three-light wooden-framed metal casement. To the left, there is a first-floor cross window, while the ground floor has an 18th-century glazing bar sash window with an exposed bar to the left and a late 19th-century canted bay to the right.

Inside, the ground-floor front room displays a pair of chamfered spine beams with ogee stops. The only part of the interior that has been inspected is this area. Additionally, there is a small 18th-century painted brick cottage adjoining at the rear, which is one storey and has an attic. This cottage features a toothed-brick eaves cornice and a parapeted gable end with an integral brick end stack. It also has a small gabled semi-dormer with a two-light wooden casement, a ground-floor two-light window to the right, and a boarded door to the left.
