Description
No. 22 on The Street is an ancillary building of uncertain purpose, dating from the 17th century or earlier, and has been extended in the 20th century. It features a timber frame with a plastered exterior and a roof covered with machine-made red plain tiles. The building has a square plan and includes a 18th-century stack in the southeast corner. The 20th-century extension to the southeast has created a house with its entrance facing southwest.
The structure is two storeys tall and has a two-window range of 20th-century casements and a 20th-century glazed door. The northwest elevation, which faces The Street, has two 20th-century casements on the ground floor and one on the first floor. The stack has been rebuilt above the roof in the 20th century. There are some exposed re-used timbers in the 20th-century jetty, with one post at each corner, tenoned and pegged girts in each wall, and tenoned and pegged studs spaced approximately 0.90 metres apart.
An 18th-century inserted floor features an irregular beam aligned northwest-southeast, with plain joists of vertical section supported on nailed clamps. There is also an 18th-century wood-burning hearth with an unusual semi-circular plan. The southeast top plate has been severed for access to the remainder of the upper storey, and the roof was replaced in the 20th century. The original purpose of the building remains unknown, but it likely had some industrial use, possibly as an oast. Horizontal lines of auger holes in the studding suggest that racks or shelves were once present. The building is depicted on a map from 1823 as part of a longer range of buildings.
