Description
A house, now divided into two houses and a shop, dating from the 14th century to the 17th century, with alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is timber framed and mostly plastered, with some exposed framing and a roof covered in handmade red plain tiles. There are stacks of gault brick. The original form included a 2-bay hall facing southeast, with a stack behind the left bay, and a 2-bay crosswing to the right, with a 19th-century external stack. A 2-bay extension was added to the rear of the crosswing, along with a 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey extension to the left. A 3-bay crosswing from the 17th century stands to the left of the hall, with an axial stack. A 19th-century single-storey extension is at the rear, topped with red clay corrugated tiles, and a 20th-century flat-roofed single-storey extension is on the right.
Numbers 11, 13, and 15 (Cobbins) are three separate sections. Number 11 has a 19th-century bay window, a recessed sash window on the first floor, a 6-panel glazed door. Number 13 has a similar bay window, two mid-19th-century sashes on the first floor, and a 6-panel door. Number 15 (Cobbins) has an early 19th-century shopfront with 24 lights, a half-glazed door, fluted pilasters, a moulded fascia, and four lights in the return side. The right crosswing features curved braces trenched outside the studs, a chamfered binding beam with step stops, plain horizontal joists, a cambered tiebeam with a remaining chamfered brace, and a crownpost roof with axial bracing. The rear wall has diamond mortices for former unglazed windows.
The right crosswing has an underbuilt jetty. The hall range has a mid-16th-century inserted floor with a chamfered axial beam and joists, with step stops. The roof was raised and rebuilt in the 17th century, retaining smoke-blackened medieval rafters with unsooted pegs. The interior of number 13 is heavily plastered; number 11 has plain vertical section joists.
