Description
Richmond House is a late 16th-century timber-framed and plastered house that was refronted in the 18th century. It features a plastered parapet and cornice. Historical records indicate that the house dates back to 1734 when it was divided into three tenements and was previously known as "the Bull Inn."
The building has two storeys and a three-window range, with double-hung sash windows that include glazing bars, all set in cased frames. The entrance has a wooden doorcase with pilasters and a cornice. The roof is tiled and has a red brick chimney stack with three octagonal shafts on a rectangular base. Inside, the house retains exposed beams that are chamfered.
Richmond House is part of a group of listed buildings that includes No 11, Nos 13 to 15 (consecutive), Nos 17, 18, the Rose & Crown Public House, Nos 20, 22, Orchard House, and Nos 23 to 26 (consecutive) on the southeast side.
