Description
32 Bore Street is a house that has been converted into a café. It is dated 1510 but is likely from the late 16th century, with alterations from the 18th century and a connecting block added in the 20th century. The building features a timber frame with a brick rear range and wing, topped with tile roofs that have decorative cresting and brick stacks.
The structure stands three stories tall and has a three-window range. The first and second floors are jettied, with three gables that have bracketed upper jetty, enriched finials, and end pendants. The entrance, located to the left of the center, has moulded posts supporting the jetty and a half-glazed door with small panes and fielded panels. There is a passageway leading to Tudor Row at the left end. On the ground floor, there are two canted oriel windows; the left one has a four-pane sash, while the right one features a fixed light arrangement of 1:4:1 with leaded glazing above the transom. To the right of the entrance is a window with plate glass and leaded glazing above the transom. The first floor has three-light transomed windows with upper leaded glazing, and the second floor has two-light casements with moulded frames. A large brick stack is present on the building.
The timber framing includes a sole plate, close studding on the ground floor, herringbone bracing on the first floor, and curved cusped braces below the second-floor windows and at the gables. There are two enriched 19th-century rainwater heads. The rear of the building has brick platt bands and modillioned brick cornices, with segmental-headed windows, some featuring pegged cross-casements. The rear wing, connected by the 20th-century block, has a brick cornice and a variety of casement windows. It has a five-window range with two three-light pegged casements, three blind windows, and two-light pegged casements on the second floor. The projecting rear block has varied fenestration and a 20th-century addition at the end.
Inside, the building features chamfered beams and joists. The ground floor showcases 17th-century and early 18th-century panelling. The open-well staircase has turned balusters, square newels, and a moulded handrail, with two lion figures on the landing. The rear wing has chamfered beams and joists, and the former gable end retains timber framing with two jetties. This well-preserved 16th-century building serves as a local landmark.
