Description
Angel House is a house that was formerly part of an inn, dating from the early to mid-18th century and altered in the early to mid-19th century. It is constructed of colourwashed brick with a slate roof and a brick chimney, arranged in an L-plan. The building is three stories high and originally had five windows, but now features a three-window range. You can still see the remains of gauged brick flat arches with keyblocks and traces of aprons.
On the ground floor, there is a half-glazed door with an overlight, set in a moulded wood surround with a hood supported by plain brackets. To the right, there are two late 19th-century shop windows with moulded pilaster strips and a continuous entablature, while to the left is a 20-pane sash window. The first floor has 16-pane sash windows, and the second floor features windows with brick flat arches. At the rear, there is a long irregular brick wing from the 18th or early 19th century.
Inside, there is a central passage with a panelled dado and arches leading to the staircase. The early to mid-18th-century staircase has a narrow open well, winders, and turned balusters, along with a 19th-century two-light Gothic staircase window. The interior also includes panelled doors, some with H-L hinges, and 18th-century fireplaces. Angel House, along with No. 5, served as the Angel Inn until 1865.
