Description
No. 17 Water Street is a house built in the early 18th century. It has a timber frame with a brick exterior and a plain tile roof, standing two storeys high with a two-window range. The facade is covered with late 18th-century gault brick and features a central late 20th-century door set behind a trellis porch. On either side of the door, there is one 19th-century 8/8 horned sash window on each floor. The roof is gabled and hipped to the east. The west gable is made of early 18th-century red brick and includes an attic-level platband and an internal gable-end stack. Inside, the early 18th-century timber frame remains intact.
