Description
This is a range of houses and a shop, dating to the 17th century, with a facade of the early 18th century. The building is constructed of red brick in a Flemish bond, with a red pantile roof. It is arranged over two storeys with attics, in a U-shaped plan open to the north.
The western range, now occupied by two businesses, has a single bay at its centre, with three-bay flanking wings. The central bay features a single ground floor window and a round-headed sash window on the first floor, with glazing bars set beneath a round, rubbed brick arch. Raised brick quoins are present. The three bays to the north have two ground floor and two first floor sashes with glazing bars, each set beneath a flat, rubbed brick arch. A six-panel raised and fielded door serves the ground floor, with a rectangular fanlight above; a blocked semi-circular rubbed brick arch window is situated directly above the door. The three bays to the south also have two ground floor and two first floor sashes with glazing bars, similar to the north side. A 20th-century glazed door occupies the ground floor, with a blocked window directly above. Two pedimented two-light dormers with leaded glazing bars are positioned in the roof. A moulded brick plinth and eaves run along the building.
The rear of the building, dating to the 17th century, is constructed of clunch with brick dressings and consists of two distinct builds. The south facade, facing Overy Road, presents a fine early 18th-century classical composition, following an a-b-c-b-a bay system. The three-bay centre has one surviving ground floor sash and three first floor sashes with glazing bars, with a centrally placed Venetian window filled with boarding; all are set within rubbed brick dressings. Two bays to the west have two ground floor and two first floor sashes with glazing bars and rubbed brick dressings; a doorcase dating circa 1800 features fluted pilasters and a frieze, with a four-panel, part-glazed door. Two bays to the east have a 19th-century shop front on the ground floor, with two first floor windows - one bricked up and the other a sash with glazing bars, also with rubbed brick dressings. An outer single bay to the west has a blocked ground floor window and a semi-circular sash window with glazing bars on the first floor. An outer bay to the east has a late 19th-century shop front with two plate glass windows and a central door, featuring moulded brackets and a cornice; a single first floor semi-circular headed sash with glazing bars is set within rubbed brick dressings. Raised brick quoins act as end pilasters. A moulded brick plinth and eaves run along the entire facade.
The roof is steeply pitched and hipped, with a central axial ridge stack and a ridge stack at the east end, along with hipped gables.
