Description

Nos. 5, 6 and 7 Quality Row is a house that has been converted into a row of three cottages. It likely dates from the 15th or early 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid to late 19th century. The building features a rendered timber frame of cruck construction, which has been partly rebuilt and extended using painted brick and stone, topped with a slate roof.

The layout follows a baffle-entry plan with four framed bays and stands two storeys tall. It has a large central brick ridge stack, an integral brick end stack on the left, and an external brick end stack on the right. The front has four windows, featuring late 20th-century two- and three-light wooden casements, and three boarded doors that alternate with the windows, with the leftmost door having a lean-to porch. There is a later lower addition on the right with a plain tile roof.

Inside, there are at least three full cruck trusses, with at least one showing smoke blackening, indicating that the cottage may have originally been a house with an open hall.
