Description

No. 3 Station Road is a shop that was formerly a house and shop, dating from the late 14th century, with alterations made in the early 15th century and the 20th century. The building features a plastered and colourwashed timber frame, with roofs made of plain tiles and concrete corrugated tiles. The late 14th-century section runs parallel to the road on the right, while an early 15th-century range has been added at the gable end on the left, over a square-headed carriage entrance. The building has two storeys and an attic.

To the right of the carriage entrance, there is a late 19th-century plate-glass shopfront, which has been somewhat altered in the 20th century. The carriage arch leads to a close-studded passage that includes a late 20th-century display window. Above the passage, there is a jettied gable supported by two consoles, which is lit by a late 18th-century three-light casement window with leaded glazing. The gabled roof is present above this section.

The range on the right, which is parallel to the road, also has a jettied first floor, although the jetty is obscured by 20th-century fascia board. This section includes one four-over-eight sash window and has a gabled roof covered with plain tiles, featuring a sloping dormer at the extreme right.

Inside, the shop has boxed bridging beams. The frame includes tension braces at the first floor level. The roof of the north-south block is supported by two early 15th-century octagonal crown posts, which have splayed feet and tops. The tops are connected to the crown purlin and collars by four arched braces. Some tie beams on arched braces are missing. The roof of the east-west block retains one late 14th-century octagonal crown post with a moulded capital and two cranked braces leading to the collar. There are two additional braces that were once connected to a missing crown purlin. The junction of the two blocks features exterior plaster, indicating that the east-west block was once free-standing.
