Warehouse serving Clifton House (qv). Mid C16, extended north early C17 to street line, greatly altered since and converted to flat and shop mid 1980s. Red brick and re-used ashlar. Plaintile and pantile roofs. North side is probably an extension of early C17. Two storeys with dormer attic Wide entrance with sliding door just off centre leads to rear and provides access to courtyard. East of the door is a set-off to the first floor and re-used quoins at the junction with Clifton House to the extreme east. Facade is punctuated with 2 and 3-light diamond mullioned windows and assorted casements, all of 1980s, but probably accurate replicas. Gabled roof with 6 sloping dormers. South side in 2 distinct builds. Entrance passage emerges via double timber doors. 2 storeys and dormer attic Assorted late C20 casements and 2 pedestrian doors now opening into shop and domestic units. Disposition of fenestration is erratic but existence of ashlar quoins many indicate authentic mid C16 locations and size. Much re-used ashlar in elevation. Gabled roof with 2 sloping dormers. Left of the passage doors the elevation projects under a shallower pitched roof and reduces to one storey and dormer attic Flight of late C20 steps leads to small terrace serving two C20 French windows and a door. 3 sloping dormers in roof. INTERIOR not inspected but known to retain a heavy spine wall which is probably the north wall of the original warehouse before extension to the street. Later, C18, cellars also reported.
