10,12 AND 14, ST ANDREW STREET

10, 12, and 14 St Andrew Street are houses that have been converted into three shops. They date from the late 16th century to early 17th century and were altered in the 19th century. The buildings are timber-framed and plastered, with the left flank elevation and rear outshuts weatherboarded. They feature an old tiled roof.

The exterior consists of two storeys and attics, arranged in a three-bay structure. The first floor has a low headroom, which may suggest that it was originally part of a hall house. There is one two-light and two three-light small-paned wood casement windows on the first floor, while the ground floor has three shopfronts inserted beneath a jetty. On the left, the shopfront includes a three-quarter glazed door with a fanlight, a closed plate glass display window over a brown glazed brick stallriser, and a fascia with a moulded cornice supported by cut profiled consoles. The central shopfront is double-fronted and features a 20th-century glazed door, closed plate glass windows, and a canted fascia on the jetty front above, also supported by cut brackets and flanked by cut consoles. The right shopfront has a 20th-century hardwood glazed door and plate glass window, with a 19th-century pilaster surround and a canted fascia on the jetty above, flanked by cut consoles.

On the roof, there is a 20th-century rooflight on the left front and a box casement dormer on the right front, which was formerly three dormers. There is also a central box casement dormer on the rear slope.

Inside, the ground floor of Nos 12 and 14 has been opened up into a single space. No. 14 features a lateral beam with a chamfer and tongue stop, while the wall plate at the rear of No. 12 has mortices for the studs of the rear wall, which has been opened out with a lean-to. The attics have exposed principal collars, but the upper roof is not accessible. There is a cellar below No. 12 with red brick walls.
