Description

15 Gracechurch Street is a house that has been divided into two properties. It dates from the late 16th century, with signs of earlier construction on the right side. The building is timber framed and plastered, with the first floor studding visible at the front. It has a pantiled roof and stands two storeys high. The upper floor juts out over the street, showcasing exposed joist-ends, while a small section on the right, which does not jetty, is of earlier origin. There are two windows on the first floor, which are 18th-century three-light casements with square-leaded glazing, located in their original openings. The ground floor features mid-20th-century mullion and transom casements, along with two mid-20th-century doors. An external chimney stack from the 19th century is present on the right gable end of the main block.

Inside, the ground floor has been significantly altered, leaving little of the original structure visible. The upper floor has plain heavy studding and the frame is divided into two bays. The tie beams feature ogee stop-chamfers, and to the right, there is a fragment of earlier work with a wallplate set at a much lower level. Heavy tie beam braces at the left gable end are part of an adjacent earlier range. The roof is supported by two rows of butt purlins.
