Oxnead

No 18 (Oxnead) is an early 19th-century building located on Broad Street. The front features mock half-timbering and roughcast with a moulded stringcourse, while the original modillion eaves cornice remains intact. The building has a hipped slate roof and four first-floor sash windows, which now have only central glazing bars. Originally, it had four full-height pilasters, and the six-panel door has been replaced by a modern door. The building was remodeled in 1876, revealing a fireback with a rose portcullis, three fleurs-de-lys, three lions, and part of the Order of the Garter, along with a window dating to 1400. At the rear, there is an 18th-century structure featuring a central elliptical brick bay and sash windows with flat arches. Beneath part of the building, which has long served as a wine merchant, are extensive barrel-vaulted cellars of considerable age. The building is part of a group that includes Nos 2, 4 corner cafe, 6 to 20 (even), and 30A and 30.
