Description
This building is a shop with a late 18th-century brick facade applied to a late 16th-century timber-framed house. It has a pantiled roof.
The exterior has three storeys and a single bay window range. The facade incorporates a 20th-century shop front. Above the shop front is a two-story canted bay window. This bay window has tripartite 1/1:2/2:1/1 sash windows on the front and 2/2 sash windows on the sides. A tie iron is visible in the form of the letters "TH" to the left of the facade. A mutulated eaves cornice is present. The roof is steeply pitched and hipped. To the south, Row 90 features flint and brick lower walls. A jettied south return has lath and plasterwork under an arch. Brick infill is visible between the first-floor studs. Various blocked openings are present. A whitewashed rear gable has a late 20th-century brick addition. To the north, Row 89 has a late 20th-century brick ground floor. A full-length jetty to the first floor includes brick infill between the timber studs and has various blocked openings. A rebuilt wall stack is located north of the front range.
The ground floor interior is largely reconstructed. The first and attic floors reveal a house with six bays of timber framing. The first floor retains four sunk-quadrant bridging beams with triple-necked tongue stops. A tie plate has been raised above the level of the attic floor. The roof features principals and collars, with some collars either reduced, shaved for headroom, or replaced in the 20th century. Two 18th-century plank doors are in the attic, alongside a 19th-century stick-baluster staircase, and various 20th-century partitions.
