Description
A house or inn, likely dating from the late 16th century, was later refronted in the 18th century and again in the mid-19th century. Rear extensions were added to each section around the mid-19th century. Timber framing is visible in the carriageway to number 64 and inside number 58. Number 62 has a plastered front, while numbers 58 and 60 have stucco fronts. The rear is stucco, and the rear extensions are constructed from flint and brick with slate roofs. The front range has a steep roof covered with old red tiles.
The building is a tall, continuous two-storey range, uniform in height, facing east and immediately north of number 64, which it likely originally formed part of as inn buildings. Number 62 is said to have been the tack room for the inn stables and retains part of a rear gallery, or first-floor corridor. The east front of numbers 58 and 60 is stuccoed and lined to resemble ashlar, with five windows. The first floor features recessed sash windows with plate glass. The ground floor has sash windows with a pattern of single and triple panes (T:S:T:S), with vermiculated rustication to false arches and keystones on the three central windows. At the left (south) end is a small 19th-century shopfront with pilasters, a fascia, a two-light window, and a half-glazed door leading up two steps. At the right (north) end, number 58 has a half-glazed, flush-panelled door with a rectangular fanlight, along with large boarded double doors leading to a carriageway through to the rear. Number 62 retains its original plastered front, and the stair facing of number 60 obscures half of a first-floor window. There are two two-light sliding Yorkshire casements with small panes on the first floor, and two flush sash windows with two-over-two panes flanking a six-panel, half-glazed door, which leads up two steps under a flat hood. Timber framing and fine 17th-century red brickwork in English bond are exposed on the south end in the carriageway to number 64. A slated, brick-and-flint lean-to sits at the rear.
