33, 34 (ST JOHN'S HOUSE) AND 35, THE TYTHING

33, 34 (St John's House) and 35 The Tything are three houses that have been converted into shops and offices, forming part of a terrace built between 1776 and 1779, with later additions and alterations. Notably, there is a window surround from around 1870 at No. 34. The buildings are constructed of red brick with stucco detailing. They feature a parapetted roof with plain clay tiles on the right-hand house, while the other houses have concrete tiles and asbestos sheets.

The party-wall stacks include one on the left with an oversailing detail and pots, while the right-hand stack has been lowered and capped. The timber doorcase is prominent, and the first floor has six windows arranged in a 2:2:2 pattern. The stucco detailing includes a frieze, cornice, and blocking course, with sills and elliptical arched heads on all six windows of the center house. These arches are panelled, rise from capped springer blocks, and incorporate protruding capped keystones. The center house features 1/1 arch-headed sashes, while the other houses have 6/6 sashes on the first floor and replacement side-hung casements on the second floor of the left-hand house, with 3/3 sashes on the right-hand house. Flat gauged brick arches are present above the windows of the flanking houses, all set in plain reveals.

The Ionic-style doorcase has an open pediment with mutules to the right of the center, leading to a five-panel door with the bottom pair flush-beaded, a raised and fielded central panel, and glazed upper panels with semi-circular arched heads. A fanlight above features Gothic-style tracery. The left and right sides have 20th-century shopfronts.

The interior has not been inspected. Notably, there are cast-iron window boxes on the two first-floor windows of the center house. Historical photographs from 1951 and 1955 show a balcony on the right-hand house, which was accessed by French windows at the first-floor level, and there are indications of local rebuilding of the brickwork in this area. The building originally had a matching doorcase to the center house.
