Description
32 St Andrew Street is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the early 17th century and was refronted in the early 19th century, with some alterations made in the 1970s including part of the front being rebuilt. The building has a timber-framed structure, which is plastered at the rear, while the front is made of yellow stock brick laid in Flemish bond. The roof is tiled and originally had a front parapet that has since been removed, featuring three gables at the rear. There is a yellow brick chimneystack on the left with a projecting band. The building has a three-bay E plan.
The exterior has two storeys. The front elevation features three recessed sash windows with glazing bars, where the outer windows are three-light and set under flat rubbed arches, now covered with cement render. The ground floor has two similar outer windows and a 20th-century central doorcase with a reproduction pediment and a panelled door. There is a pink granite spur stone on the left side to protect the corner facing Brewhouse Lane.
On the rear elevation, there is a multi-pane sash window with margin-glazed sidelights on the first floor to the left, while the remaining windows have been replaced in the 20th century, including a two-storey flat-roofed projecting bay on the right.
Inside, the rear range retains its timber framing with exposed beams in the rear left room, while the front rooms have been significantly altered and feature a high ceiling. There is a pillar-urn newel, stick balusters, and a moulded handrail. The front first-floor rooms have higher ceilings due to the removal of the attic. The right-hand rear room now serves as a passage to the first floor of the adjoining No. 30. The roof is not accessible for inspection.
