Description
No. 3 Stoneham Street is a house that has been converted into a shop and residence. It dates from around 1600 or earlier and has been altered in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is timber framed and roughcast rendered, with a roof made of handmade red plain tiles. It features a two-bay range facing northeast, with an early 19th-century internal stack located at the rear of the left bay. There are also two single-storey rear wings from the 19th century, which are roofed with slate.
The house stands two storeys tall with attics. On the ground floor, there is a late 19th-century splayed bay window with sashes arranged in a 2-4-2 light pattern, alongside another window that has been converted into a shop front. The first floor has two 18th or early 19th-century sash windows, each with 12 lights. A 20th-century glazed door leads to the shop, and there is a plain boarded door providing access to a foot passage at the right end of the building.
Inside, there is a chamfered axial beam of heavy section and boxed transverse beams. While most of the frame is hidden by interior finishes, some close studding is visible at the right end, featuring a trenched brace with reversed double curvature. Above the first floor, there are chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue and notch stops. The roof was rebuilt in a gambrel form during the 18th century. The rear stack includes bricks engraved with the initials J.E. and the date 1823.
