35 And 37 Including Former Number 33

This is a group of three houses, numbers 35 and 37, with the remains of number 33 incorporated into number 35. The building dates back to the 16th century and has been altered throughout the 19th century, with further subdivision. The construction is timber-framed and plastered, with number 33 having an underbuilt section of brown brick in a Flemish bond pattern. Number 37 includes a weatherboarded stair turret and an east wing that formerly served as the Green Coat School. The roofs are old tiled, with number 35 having a westerly gable and number 37 featuring a higher gabled cross wing. A red brick chimney stands above the former number 33, while number 37 has an external chimney breast and a tall brick stack with three orange clay pots. Number 35 also has a single-story lean-to with a slate roof on its south side.

The exterior of number 35 features a flush 12-pane sash window on the first floor (formerly number 33) and a 19th-century 2-light wood casement with margin glazing. The ground floor has a sash window and a half-glazed door recessed within an architrave frame, a projecting 19th-century bay with a sash window and divided glazing, sidelights, and a lead flat roof, and a margin-glazed casement in the lean-to. The south flank has 2-light wood casements on both the first and ground floors, along with a 19th-century 4-panel door with upper portions glazed. Number 37 has a small 2-light casement on the first floor of the stair turret, and a tall 2-light casement below the gable, with a shallow jetty above. A bressumer band marks the line of the former jetty and is now adorned with flush-set sashes with 8 panes at the top and divided glazing at the bottom. The building has a deep plinth, partly weatherboarded and partly colored over brick. The rear gabled elevation showcases a tall casement window mirroring the front, alongside three- and 2-light casements on the ground floor.

Inside number 35, exposed jowled posts and a tie beam are found in a first-floor bedroom, while a Tudor arched brick fireplace with a flask-shaped stack sits below. In number 37, the ground floor main room boasts exposed chamfered beams with run-out stops, a fireplace with brick cheeks (one rebuilt), a timber bressumer with roll mouldings, and a winding staircase within the turret. The first floor originally comprised one chamber, with exposed studwork on the west wall and a modern ceiling at wall plate level. The roof features heavy section halved and pegged rafters, with no visible purlins or smoke blackening.

Historically, numbers 35 and 37 were once a single house. In 1812, the east wing was constructed for the Green Coat School, serving as the Schoolmaster's House. The school relocated to larger premises in 1868.
