1 And 3, West Street

This property comprises two houses, 1 and 3 West Street, originally part of a larger house, and dating back to around 1500. The building has undergone alterations in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. It is timber-framed with plaster and weatherboarding, and has a roof covered in handmade red tiles.

The main range, facing north, consists of three bays, representing the "hall" (number 3) and the service bay (number 1) of a long-jetty house. Number 5 formerly contained the parlour or solar crosswing (listed separately). A 17th-century external stack is located at the rear of the right bay, with 19th-century stacks at the rear of the middle and left bays. A rear wing of around 1600 is positioned to the left of the main building. A 17th-century lean-to extension runs along the rear of the middle bay, with a single-story lean-to added in the 19th century.

The front of the building has two 20th-century windows with tripartite sashes on the ground floor, set below a jetty supported by a single bracket. The first floor features three early 19th-century sashes, each with ten panes of glass. A 19th-century casement window is located within a gabled dormer on number 1. Number 1 has a 20th-century entrance door, while number 3 has a 20th-century glazed door. The rear wing to the left has a gablet hip.

The front ground-floor room of number 1 is lined with early 18th-century fielded pine panelling, including an axial beam and an ornate Victorian cast iron grate (damaged). Above this room is a 17th-century ceiling with a chamfered axial beam featuring lamb's tongue stops. In number 3, exposed studding is visible in the left partition wall, along with a curved brace trenched into the studs and two blocked doorways with four-centred heads, suggesting a possible original shop front. The room retains a chamfered binding beam with plain stops, along with chamfered axial beams and plain joists secured with unrefined tenons. A wood-burning hearth has curved internal splays and a re-used early 16th-century mantel beam with a cranked top, likely from a former timber-framed chimney. A blocked original doorway with chamfered jambs and straight head is present on the first floor of the left bay. The building incorporates jowled posts and chamfered arched braces to the front ends of tiebeams. A rebated wallplate indicates a former unglazed window. The roof is a crownpost roof with plain square posts and axial braces, retaining original wattle and daub in two panels at the left end of number 3. The rear wing features jowled posts, straight bracing, a scarf joint in the wallplate, and exposed original wattle and daub.
