Description
No. 4 Baldock Street is a house that has been converted into offices. It dates from the 17th century and was refronted in the 18th century, with a modern flat-roofed rear extension added in the early 1970s. It may have originally been built as part of a group with Nos. 2 and 2A. The building is timber-framed and has a stucco exterior with masonry lining, topped by an old tiled roof featuring two box casement dormers and a wooden cornice.
The structure has two storeys and attics, with two first-floor sash windows set in shallow recesses, both with glazing bars, and one sash window on the ground floor. There are two doors, each with a cut bracketed hood and a dentilled cornice; the right-hand hood appears to be a modern reproduction. Inside, the interior has been altered, but moulded beams are exposed on the ground and first floors, and the roof features heavy rafters and side purlins that indicate its 17th-century origins. To the left, there is a carriageway leading to No. 6. The rear extension is not considered to be of special interest.
