Guild House

Guild House is a house dating from the mid-17th century with later alterations. It is constructed of brick in English bond, with a French pantile roof, and has a brick and flint plinth. The house originally had a single-bay plan, with a later addition to the side. It is two storeys high and includes a cellar. The north facade features a doorway positioned opposite a gable-end stack. The doorway has moulded cover strips. There are two windows: one with two lights and one with three lights, both with chamfered mullions. A row of eleven small, shallow niches with arched heads is located beneath the eaves, likely former pigeon nesting boxes. A 18th-century dentil cornice is present. The west gable features two original window openings with stuccoed, moulded brick pediments, containing modern five-light windows. The gable has been rebuilt with a shallower pitch. Traces of a diaper pattern, created with black brick headers, are visible on either side of the first-floor window. The south facade has two original large window openings, the ground-floor window featuring a moulded brick pediment. Modern five-light frames have been installed in these openings, along with an ovolo-moulded two-light mullion window opposite the stack. The east gable-end projects beyond the gable line, resembling a staged buttress, and has been rebuilt. Modern extensions exist on this gable-end and to the south.

Inside, original doorways are present with ogee and nicked chamfer stops. A winding staircase beside the stack once led to both the cellar and attic. A spinal bridging joist is ovolo-moulded, with ogee and nicked chamfer stops. A fireplace features a cambered bressummer. The full bay of the house is occupied by the cellar, which was originally lit by three splayed windows.
