Description

This building, located at 2, 2A, 2B, and 4 Town Green, is a shop and flats with origins dating back to the late 16th century, though it has undergone significant alterations, particularly in the late 19th century. The structure is timber-framed with brick, featuring a plaintiled roof at the front and a pantiled roof at the rear. It has two storeys and an attic.

No. 2 is a house with three bays, featuring a central 20th-century door framed by a fluted timber doorcase and hood, with a horned tripartite sash window on either side. No. 4 is a late 19th-century double-fronted shop, accessed through a central door, flanked by glazed display windows. The first floor still shows evidence of an underbuilt bressumer from the jetty, and there is false timber studwork on the first floor. The first-floor apartments in No. 3 are lit by irregularly placed sashes, which have glazing bars only on the upper sashes. The building has a gabled roof with a gable-end stack on the south side and a ridge stack located left of centre. At the rear, there is a two-storey cross wing extending east from the south end.

Inside, the ground floor features a sunk quadrant longitudinal bridging beam that continues through both properties, along with jowled principal studs. At the rear on the first floor, there are remnants of a two-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window. The roof of the cross wing is from the 19th century.
