Description
31 and 32 St Andrews Street South is a house that was later converted into a pair of cottages, with No. 32 now functioning as an office. The front dates from the early to mid 19th century, while the core of the building is from the late 17th to early 18th century. It is timber-framed and rendered, topped with pantiled roofs.
The building is single storey with attics and has a cellar. The exterior features a three-window range with 2-light casements that have horizontal glazing bars and wooden hood-moulds. There are two doorways, each approached by steps, which have Gothic panelled doors and wooden hood-moulds. At the south end, there is a carriageway with similar panelled double doors and a hood-mould. The roof includes four gabled dormers with mock timbering in the apex, each containing 2-light single bar casement windows and fluted bargeboards. A central square chimney-stack is present.
Inside, No. 31 has not been inspected but is reported to have no exposed timbering or original features visible. No. 32 has a cellar with a mix of walling materials including flint, old brick, and some clunch, along with some 17th-century roof timbers. There is little exposed timbering inside, but some 18th-century framing is present. The two cottages are divided along the line of an internal chimney-stack. The roof, partly made of softwood, features clasped purlins, saddles linking the tops of the rafters, and a ridge-piece in part.
