Description
House, now a house and shop, dating to the early 16th century, with extensions from the 17th century and a front block rebuilt in the early to mid-19th century. The building is timber-framed with wattle and daub and brick infill, with the rearmost range partially clad in red and painted brick. The front block is of red brick. It has a low-pitched slate roof with an axial brick stack behind the ridge, while the rear ranges have tiled roofs and a stack on the rearmost block. Two gabled dormers face west on the front of the building, and on the rear.
The front block is three storeys high and has a two-window front, with the window bays placed irregularly. It features glazing bar sash windows, shallower on the second floor; that on the first floor to the right has a gauged head. A shallow canted bay on the first floor to the left is likely from the later 19th century. A later 19th-century shop front occupies the ground floor, consisting of a double shop front with a central two-thirds-glazed door, and a boarded door to the right leading through to a yard at the rear.
The rear block, on the east side, comprises two parts; the right-hand part probably dates to the early 16th century, and the left-hand part to the 17th century. It is two storeys high and features a rare survival of 10-light and 6-light windows on the first floor, and a 6-light window to the right on the ground floor, though their exact sequence is difficult to discern due to blocked lights and small sash windows inserted into the frame. A significant number of diamond mullions survive; the studs and posts of the frame are cut into diamond sections to resemble mullions where windows pass through them. The interior has not been inspected.
The front block of the building, dated to the early to mid-19th century, is red brick and three storeys high, featuring one sash window with a flat brick arch and a splayed oriel on the left-hand side, with plain wood eaves and slate roofing. A 19th-century shop front is present with modern glazing. The building is included on the list for its group value.
