Number 138 And Attached Railings

Number 138 is a house with a vestigial 17th century core and an 18th century front, which has been significantly modernised and extended in the 1960s. The building is timber-framed and plastered, featuring a jettied design and a 20th century plaintiled roof. It has two storeys and a cellar, with a two-window range. The upper storey has 12-paned sashes in flush cased frames, while the ground storey features a single vertical glazing-bar. The wide jetty is supported by shaped brackets, one at each end of the front and two by the porch. The porch projects below the jetty and includes boarded reveals, a rectangular fanlight, and a flat cornice hood supported by console brackets. The entrance has an Edwardian four-panel door, with the top two panels glazed. Low railings with spear heads extend from each side of the porch across the frontage. Inside, little of the original building remains due to modernisation, with the rear wall removed and no exposed timbers. The house is included for its group value as part of the street scene.
