Description
9 London Street is a pair of houses dating from the late 17th century that were converted into a shop and flat in the 20th century.
The building is made of cut and partly knapped flint with red brick dressings and features a pantile roof. It faces west onto London Street and has an approximately square plan.
The two-storey structure is three window bays wide and has a gabled roof with three gabled dormers, each fitted with two-light casements. There are internal gable-end chimney stacks on both sides and a dentil eaves cornice. The first floor features a platband and three six-over-six pane unhorned sash windows. The entrance is located left of centre and consists of a half-glazed door within a timber doorcase. To the immediate right of the entrance is the site of a former door, now a two-over-two pane horned sash window, followed by another two-over-two pane horned sash window. To the left of the doorway is a six-over-six pane unhorned sash window.
Inside, the ground floor south room has a chamfered bridging beam with tongue stops, replaced joists, and a blocked inglenook fireplace. The front first-floor rooms have been opened into a single space. The roof was replaced around 1800 and features principal rafters in two tiers with taper-tenoned butt purlins and collars.
