18, Upper Dagnall Street

No. 18 Upper Dagnall Street is a house built in the 17th century, with extensions made in the 18th and/or 19th centuries. The building features a stuccoed timber frame and has a gable-ended roof covered with concrete tiles at the front and plain clay tiles at the rear. There is a brick gable end stack. The house has a one-bay plan, which includes a chimney bay or the remains of another complete bay on the right, and a single room heated by the gable end stack on the right, with later outshuts at the rear.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a one-window south front, which features 20th-century 16-pane sash windows. To the left of the windows is a doorway with a moulded frame, a simple wooden canopy supported by shaped brackets, and a 20th-century glazed door. The right-hand end of the building is blank. At the rear, the outshut has been raised and now has a flat roof.

Inside, the timber framing was exposed during repairs and appears to be largely complete. This includes storey posts, some close-studding, rails, and tension braces. The roof features tie-beam and queen-post trusses at either end, with clasped purlins above the collar, curved wind-braces, and an intermediate collar with a birdsmouth joint to the purlins. The upper sections of the common rafters above the purlins are missing. The first floor is supported by a chamfered axial beam with stop-chamfered spine beams and similarly chamfered and stopped joists. There is a winder staircase beside the brick stack.
