Description

30 and 32 Pilot Street is a rare parallel hall house dating from the early 15th century, which was remodelled in the late 15th or early 16th century and has undergone alterations since then. The building is timber-framed with colourwashed brick infill and has pantiled roofs. The facade features two storeys with a central entrance passage that leads to private quarters and a rear yard. To the right of the passage is a door leading to Bardell's Yard and a 20th-century casement window. On the left side of the passage is a renewed four-light mullioned and transomed window. The entrance to No. 32 is located within the passage. The first floor jetties out at both the front and rear, supported by knuckle braces beneath the exposed studs. There are four arched braces between the studs. No. 32 has one sash window, while No. 30 has two casements. The gabled roof has a rebuilt ridge stack at the division of the two properties. The north return features ashlar quoins at the first floor, and timber-framing continues in the passage. At the rear of No. 30 is a single-storey late 15th-century range that obscures the original jetty, which has a blocked arched doorway and, further east, two lights of a blocked three-light hollow chamfered stone mullioned window. No. 32 includes a two-storey late 15th-century rear range that has been encased in brick but still retains its jetty. There are various 19th and 20th-century extensions further east.

Inside No. 30, the ground floor front room features a bridging beam supported by arched braces, with 20th-century studs in the north wall. The rear room, located in the late 15th-century extension, has early 15th-century studs on the west wall and braces from the former jetty. The west wall contains blocked openings that correspond to those in the passage. The first floor shows ties on arched braces, although the roof is not accessible. In No. 32, the rear block retains its original jetty, though the braces have been replaced. It has a plain crown post roof with rectangular posts and arched braces to the crown purlins, some of which are missing. The arched braces extend from the posts to tie beams, and the ties have arched braces to the principal studs, along with collars. It is believed that this roof continues into No. 30.
