Description
Number 67 is a former house, now offices, dating back to the 16th century, with significant alterations from the 18th and early 19th centuries. The building is timber-framed, with some rendered sections and stuccoed brickwork. It has a low-pitched hipped plain tile roof over the front range, and three gabled plain tile roofed ranges extending at right angles to the rear. The two-storey structure includes cellars.
The front elevation is stuccoed, featuring a central pediment. The central section projects slightly, with two overlaid recessed panels on the first floor. The first floor has three double-hung sash windows with small panes and margin glazing, while the ground floor has two similar windows and a central doorcase with a pediment, enriched Doric pilasters, panelled reveals, and a frieze decorated with two sunflowers and two unidentified motifs. Remade wrought-iron handrails with bootscrapers are present, along with a 20th-century door and four steps. Wide-spaced dentils run along the eaves. Cellar lights are covered by shaped wrought-iron grilles. The rear elevation displays two stacks, and two of the gables are linked, featuring cladding of English-bond red brickwork; above the tie-beam level on one section is cladding of stretcher-bond red brickwork. A glazed rear lean-to extension has been added. The south flank is ashlar, with a pair of linked plain double-hung sashes and a 19th-century window with 12 panes.
High brick garden walls enclose the rear garden, one of which includes a stone plaque with Roman lettering reading 'Meeting Trustees'.
The interior of the south wing’s rear section reveals a cross-wing dating from the mid to late 16th century, with exposed timber framing on the first floor, featuring jowled posts and internal cranked wind braces. A 17th-century door has cockspur hinges. The entrance hall features 17th-century panelling up to the dado rail. Large rooms on the ground and first floors at the north end each have fireplaces from the mid-18th century, with eared surrounds and panelled overmantels framed by Doric pilasters. Windows to the front elevation have canted panelled reveals. A section of exposed timber framing lines the north flank of the ground floor. The ground floor north room features an early 19th-century marble fireplace and a corner cupboard/niche with a semi-domed head and shaped shelves. The staircase has column balusters and newels with acorn finials. The main stack in the cellar contains a recess for storage shelves, alongside two shallow arch-vaulted recesses. Numerous minor interior features from the 18th and early 19th centuries are also present.
