Description
Number 7, with a return to High Street, is part of a row of houses, offices, and a shop dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of red brick and features a red tiled roof that is hipped to both High Street and Stour Street. The building has nine flat-headed dormers and four large red brick chimney stacks, along with a moulded eaves cornice. It stands two storeys tall, with attics and cellars.
The first floor has fifteen vertically sliding sash windows, mostly small paned, with margins on the 13th, 14th, and 15th windows, all featuring segmental heads. The ground floor of No. 7 includes a 19th-century shop front with a right moulded pilaster, moulded capital and base, and a moulded pediment. There is a central doorway accessed by steps, with reveal panels, capitals and bases to the pilasters, a segmental head, a moulded suppressed pediment, and a panelled and part-glazed door. To the right and left of the doorway are three-light windows, with a fascia above and a dentilled cornice.
The left return to High Street has a hipped roof with a four-light dormer window, a moulded eaves cornice, and two windows similar to the main façade. There is an end pilaster and a six-light window with a fascia and cornice matching the main face. For Nos. 9-15, the ground floor features a sequence of windows and doors arranged as 1:3:4:1 from left to right. The first four windows have segmental heads, while the next three have gauged brick arches, all being small paned vertically sliding sashes. The eighth and ninth windows are former shop windows, complete with capitals and bases to the pilasters, friezes, and cornices.
No. 9 has a left doorway with bases and capitals to fluted pilasters, triglyphs and metopes on the frieze, a moulded and dentilled cornice, and a pediment above a four-panel, four-light door with reveal panels. No. 11 features a six-panel door with capitals and bases to pilasters, a moulded frieze, and a cornice with reveal panels. No. 15 has a 20th-century part-glazed door with a simple surround. There is a single window range on the Stour Street return.
