15, Tipping Street

No. 15 Tipping Street is a house, now used as an office, dating from around 1740 with later alterations. The building is constructed of brick with vitrified headers and ashlar dressings. Internally, it features a central bay flanked by timber-framed cross walls and has a tile roof with a brick end stack. The design follows the Georgian style and has a double-depth plan.

The exterior consists of two storeys with an attic and a four-window range. There is a cornice over the ground floor and a top cornice. The entrance, located to the left of the centre, features a late 18th-century porch with Doric columns and a Tuscan entablature, leading to a six-flush-panel door. To the left end, there is a smaller entrance with a plain surround and another six-flush-panel door. The windows have sills and rubbed brick flat arches with keys; the ground floor windows are fluted, while the first floor features fielded-panelled windows, all with 12-pane sashes in moulded frames. The building has four gabled dormers with casement windows. The left return is pebble-dashed with a projecting stack, while the right return was rebuilt in the late 20th century with blind windows. The rear displays brick platt bands over segmental-headed windows and a gabled wing.

Inside, there are some timber-framed interior walls with square framing. The open-well staircase has column-on-vase balusters, square newels, and moulded handrails. A room to the right contains 17th-century panelling with fluted top panels, a round-headed cupboard, and a six-fielded-panel door with a Jacobean relief panel above.
