10, Hatter Street

10 Hatter Street is a house that has been converted into a shop and printing office. It dates from the 16th century and early 17th century, with some later alterations. The building is timber-framed and rendered, featuring applied mock timbering on the upper storey above a jetty. It has a plaintiled roof and is designed in a cross-wing form, with a wide, high gable facing the street. A rear range connects to the front through a large internal red brick chimney-stack with attached shafts.

The exterior consists of two storeys, an attic, and a cellar, with a two-window range featuring sashes that have a single vertical glazing-bar in flush cased frames. The ground storey has a 20th-century shop front. Inside, the two-bay front range has most timbers concealed and has been raised. The rear range, also in two bays, reveals identical cross-beams on the ground and first storey ceilings, which have a small chamfer and scroll stops. On the first storey, there are widely spaced joists and some studding with arched braces at the corners. The main tie-beam is morticed into the sides of the main posts well below the wall-plate level, creating a large attic area. Next to the chimney-stack, there are remains of a Jacobean stair with bulbous balusters, while the roof timbers are covered.
