Description

Sycamore House, which includes a butcher's shop, is an early 18th century house with a mid-19th century shop, and has undergone refurbishment in the 20th century. The building is constructed of brick featuring a black header chequer pattern on the earlier part, and it has black pantile roofs. It stands two storeys tall with an attic.

The south facade displays irregular window arrangements. On the ground floor, there is one late 18th century three-light mullion and transom window under a skewback arch with a cambered soffit, another similar window with a segmental arch, a narrow original blocked window beneath a skewback arch, and one 20th century window. A moulded brick platband runs along the facade, with one sash window featuring glazing bars and two 20th century windows on the first floor. The cornice is sawtooth in design.

The north facade also has a moulded brick platband and sawtooth cornice, featuring a 19th century off-centre panelled door beneath an original skewback arch. There are two other original skewback arches on the ground floor, one of which is blocked, while the other has a 20th century sash window with glazing bars. On the first floor, there are two 18th century sash windows with glazing bars and a 20th century sloping dormer.

Adjacent to the main building is a contemporary former stair outshut, which includes one original doorway beneath a skewback arch and one 20th century sash window with glazing bars. There is an 18th century lean-to extension on the west side. The shop side extension likely indicates part of the original block was demolished. The shop facade consists of three bays with two-storey canted bays flanking the entrance. The first floor features sash windows with glazing bars, while the ground floor has single vertical glazing bars. A modern door is set beneath a 19th century skewback arch with a cambered soffit, and the gable has tumbling-in with a two-centred central window.
