Description

No. 13 Hatter Street is a house and shop dating from the early 19th century, with an earlier core. It is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a plain tiled roof that has a gable facing Hatter Street. The building has three bays and is situated on a corner site, part of a row that includes Nos 18, 19, and 20 Churchgate Street.

The exterior features two storeys, an attic, and a cellar. On the first storey, there are two 16-pane sash windows in flush cased frames on the Hatter Street side and one on the Churchgate Street side, with a similar window in the apex of the gable. The ground storey includes a blocked sash window, a shop front with windows facing both streets, and a corner entrance. A wide fascia board runs above the shop windows across the entire Hatter Street frontage.

Inside, the modernised cellar still has a massive main beam supporting the ceiling. Most of the timbers above ground are covered, but the north side wall shows the main components, suggesting it was built against an existing structure. The roof features side-purlins.
