Description
Three houses, now used as shops, a house, and flats, were likely built around 1600. The building was raised and its facade reworked in the early to mid-19th century, and later additions were made in the late 19th century. The structure is timber-framed with a rendered exterior and a slate roof. It has five framed bays and two storeys with a gable-lit attic. A brick stack is located centrally behind the ridge. The front features square framing panels. Numbers 19 and 21 have a late-19th century double-gabled extension. Number 19 has two first-floor glazing bar sashes with moulded architraves, and late-19th century shop fronts on the ground floor. The shop on the left has segmental-arched tori-lights and a half-glazed door with a two-part overlight; the shop on the right features small panes and a four-panelled door with a rectangular overlight. Number 23 has three mid- to late-19th century casements on the first floor, a late-19th century four-paned sash window to the left on the ground floor, and a central late-19th century four-panelled door. A late-19th century, slate-roofed shop extension is present to the right, with a five-light shop window and a four-panelled door. Internally, evidence of an earlier continuous jetty exists, including a moulded bressumer and out-of-line posts, though this has since been underbuilt. A 17th-century newel staircase is found in Number 23.
