1 AND 3, COLES LANE (See details for further address information)

This building, known as Nos. 1 and 3 Coles Lane, is a house that has been divided into four dwellings. It dates from the early 16th century, with alterations and additions made in the late 17th and 18th centuries. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, featuring 20th-century pargetted panels that have replaced the bolection moulded late 17th-century pargetted panels on the front elevation. It has a painted brick plinth and a large red brick ridge stack, along with a rebuilt ridge stack at the rear. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and are hipped to the east and the rear stair turret.

The building has two storeys and cellars, forming an L-shape. The original structure has a continuous jetty to the south and east, supported by a deeply chamfered corner post, which includes some defaced carved ornamentation. There is a bracket with a carved head and jewelled decoration at the west end of the jetty. The south elevation features a late 17th-century modillioned eaves cornice. The main entrance, located at No. 81, is accessed by brick and stone steps and has an 18th-century panelled door. There is also an entrance to the west, which has a similar 18th-century panelled door.

On the ground floor, there is one twelve-paned hung sash window and one canted oriel window with hung sashes. The first floor has two cross-framed windows with casements. The rear wing, which comprises Nos. 1 and 3 Coles Lane, is also two storeys high and features four flush-framed twelve-paned hung sash windows on both the first and ground floors, of various sizes. There are two doors: an 18th-century six-panelled door and a 19th-century flush-panelled door.

Inside No. 81, there are bolection moulded two-panelled late 17th-century doors with original hinges, along with some early 18th-century panelling that forms partition walls. The staircase features a central newel post. This building was the home of Robert Cole, a corn chandler and cousin of the antiquary William Cole, in 1725, and it was first purchased by the Cole family in 1675.
