36, St Johns Street

36 St John's Street is a 17th-century house that now features a shop on the ground floor and offices above. The building is timber-framed and rendered, topped with an old plain tiled roof. It has an internal red brick chimney stack with a tall plain rectangular shaft and four 19th-century chimney pots.

The house stands two storeys high with attics and is uniquely oriented gable-end to the street, likely originally jettied. A blank gable on the south side extends the full height of the roof. Both gables have fluted bargeboards and billet mouldings on the slightly overhanging tie beams. The first floor includes a tripartite Edwardian sash window with a single vertical glazing bar in the middle light, and another sash window with a single vertical glazing bar in the gable apex, both set in flush cased frames. The south side features a small-paned sash window and a gabled dormer with a three-light casement window. The ground floor has a late 19th-century double shop front with a central recessed entrance doorway and half-glazed door, a fascia with a dentil cornice, ornate console brackets, and panelled stall boards.

Inside, there is a small brick-lined cellar. The timber frame consists of four bays, including a chimney bay, with most features concealed on the ground floor except for one ovolo-moulded main beam in the rear bay. The first floor is divided into three one-bay rooms, with the chimney stack located between the rear two rooms. The studding and main posts are widely spaced with long shallow jowls. The rear room features an ovolo-moulded main beam, while the other two rooms have main beams with a plain chamfer and scroll stops with grooves. The roof has clasped purlins, and the rafters are mostly covered.
