9, Northgate Street

No 9 Northgate Street is a late medieval timber-framed house, likely dating from the 15th to 16th century, with a red brick front block added in the 18th century. The building has three storeys and cellars, featuring a three-window range with double-hung sashes that have glazing bars, set in plain reveals with gauged brick flat arches. A stucco band runs along the first storey window sill level, and there is a stone plinth. The entrance includes a six-panel door topped by a segmental fanlight with glazing bars, framed by stuccoed reveals with panelled pilasters and double console brackets. The roof is tiled and has a modillion eaves cornice.

At the rear, there is a late medieval timber-framed wing with exposed framing and brick nogging on the ground storey, featuring a jettied upper storey supported by exposed joists. Inside, the building retains exposed joists, and one room's ceiling joists display a series of carpenter's marks. There are also two original windows with ogee moulded mullions and tracery.

This building, along with others on Northgate Street, forms a group with the Great White Horse Hotel on Tavern Street, and parts of Great Colman Street and St Margaret's Plain.
