House. C16 core; mid C19 alterations and extensions. Timber-framed and rendered; concrete plaintiles. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and cellar. 2 window range: 6-pane sashes with vertical glazing-bars only in flush cased frames. On the ground storey, one tripartite sash with vertical glazing-bars on the left and a pair of plank garage doors on the right. The central entrance door has 6 raised fielded panels and a plain wood surround. A heavy timber band above the ground storey suggests that there may be an underbuilt jetty. In the end wall on the right studding, a main post and a middle rail were uncovered and photographed during rebuilding of No.14 in 1965; the wall was then rebuilt in brick. The C19 rear extension has a roof-slope running into the main roof and no upper rooms. INTERIOR: cellar, not readily accessible, is said to be brick vaulted. The front ground-storey room has a boxed-in beam and a later partition wall dividing off the garage area. An internal chimney-stack, shared with No.12 (qv), has a rebuilt fireplace with the timber lintel covered. On the upper storey, the front wall has been raised, but the rear wall is still the original height with a steep pitch to the slope of the roof. The rear wallplate and the tie-beam in the partition wall with No.12 are both visible.
