30 And 32, Gold Street

30 and 32 Gold Street are two houses built around 1580, which were refenestrated and refurbished in the late 18th century, with 20th-century additions at the rear. They are timber-framed and plastered, topped with a peg-tiled roof, and have a T-shaped plan. The front elevation faces east and features a continuous range of four windows, arranged as two sets of two.

No. 32, dating from around 1800, has windows with moulded architraves, sash designs with glazing bars, and 4x4 panes. The central doorway is simple, with roll-moulded lining, an overlight, and a 19th-century door with four flush bead moulded panels. The facade is lined with ashlar.

No. 30 has been reworked in the 20th century and replastered, with windows replaced by 20th-century two-light casements featuring 2x2 panes. The ground floor includes a single window and a simple doorway with a door similar to that of No. 32.

On the rear elevation facing west, No. 30 has a deep 20th-century jettied gabled addition, with ground and first floor casement windows of four and three lights, respectively. To the north, there is a narrow 20th-century lean-to with a door and an upper glazed window with 2x3 panes, along with an adjacent single-light window. No. 32 features a two-storey flat-roofed addition with a first-floor double casement window of 4x2 panes.

Inside No. 30, the exposed framing from around 1580 shows early primary braced construction. The ceiling joists are flat-laid, with joint and groove evidence of some original partitioning. The roof is exposed and of clasped side-purlin form. A sawn-off projecting tie-beam between the houses is visible from the street, and some apparent differences in appearance since the previous listing suggest that No. 30 has undergone considerable alteration recently.
