20 And 22, Dam Street

Two houses, likely originating in the 17th century and substantially rebuilt around 1810, with some later alterations. The houses are constructed of brick with ashlar dressings and have a parapeted roof. They are arranged with a double-depth plan and are in a Georgian style, with a 3-storey, 5-window front. The brick parapet is plain and coped. The central entrance has a doorcase with pilasters, a panelled frieze, and a bracketed cornice over a 6-panel, half-glazed door. The right-hand entrance, originally a window, has a rubbed brick flat arch with a key stone above a 6-panel door with an overlight. The windows have sills and rubbed brick flat arches with key stones over 12-pane, horned sashes. The second-floor windows are also 12-pane, horned sashes, however, the first-floor window on the right end is an 8-pane sash and the window above it is a 4-pane, horned sash. Ground-floor windows to the left of the central entrance are replacement windows from 1985, which replaced a 20th-century shop front. The interior includes some chamfered beams to the front centre and right end, together with stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops.
