Description
This is a range of 18th-century timber-framed and plastered houses with a grey gault brick front and a parapet. The central house, number 24, projects slightly forward. The building is two storeys high with attics and cellars, and has an eleven-window frontage (grouped as three, five, and three windows). The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, set within stuccoed reveals with painted brick flat arches. There are three six-panel doors, each with a semi-circular fanlight featuring radial glazing bars. Numbers 24 and 26 have reeded architraves to their door surrounds. The front of the building is protected by 19th-century iron railings on an iron coping. Original 18th-century rainwater heads and recessed pipes are also visible. House number 24 incorporates the remains of a mid-15th-century timber-framed wing, which featured a crown post roof. The roof is tiled and hipped, with two hipped dormers. Number 22 has a lower roofline.
The building forms a group with numbers 2 to 12 (even), the stable to number 4, number 16 (Roslyn Home), the former Whitehall Cinema, and the wall formerly belonging to "The Grove" house. Numbers 22 to 26 (even) also form a group with High House.
