Description

Harvey House is a house with part of the north end divided as a shop, dating from the late 15th century. It has undergone significant alterations and additions over the years, with a late 18th-century facade. The building features a partly timber-framed structure and a colourwashed brick facade with pantiles, while No. 22 has a black-glazed finish. The entrance to No. 22 includes a 20th-century half-glazed door, flanked by two late 20th-century 4-light timber cross casements. The door is set within a timber case topped with a flat hood and a dentil frieze. The first floor has two sash windows with glazing bars in exposed boxes, while No. 20 features a late 19th-century glazed shop front with a timber hood above. The roof is gabled with internal gable-end stacks, one of which is set in from the gable and positioned west of the ridge on the rear slope.

The rear and interior reveal an L-shaped plan, with the hall located to the south of a small courtyard in an extension that runs west. The hall range ends in a stepped gable, with an 18th-century addition to the west that has been partially glazed. Adjacent to this is a block from around 1750, positioned at right angles. The west side of the front range facing the street and the north side of the former hall range now feature 20th-century brickwork, while the north side of the courtyard has various additions, including a garage to the west with a re-used crenellated bridging beam.

Inside, the main door leads to a passage with an inner doorway that has sunk quadrant-moulded jambs, of which only one remains, likely dating to the early 17th century. The south ground-floor room displays chamfered bridging beams. A winder staircase to the west of the stack has been re-formed to drop into the former hall range. A timber 4-centred arch, now blocked and likely one of a pair, is set into the east wall of the hall range. The first floor features tie beams on arched braces, although the roof in this area is not accessible. The roof of the west block consists of taper-tenoned butt purlins.
