Description
No. 4 Angel Hill is a shop with living accommodation above, dating from the 16th century, 18th century, and early 19th century. The building is timber-framed and rendered in raised rectangular panels, topped with a plaintile roof. It has two storeys, attics, and a cellar, featuring a three-cell front range with an internal chimney and a former lobby entrance. At right angles to the front range is an 18th-century rear range, which forms an L-shape partly infilled by an early 19th-century extension.
The right half of the main roof has twin gables with plain bargeboards and a wide moulded eaves cornice. The façade has four windows, which are 16-pane sashes in flush cased frames. The shop front is from the 20th century and features small-paned windows in a Regency style. There are two entrance doors: one is recessed for the shop, while the other, located on the left, is a six-panelled door with linenfold carving, plain pilasters, and a triangular pediment.
The rear range, aligned east-west, has a mansard roof that extends over the front roof and features 12-pane sash windows. The 19th-century extension has a gabled roof, with painted brick on the ground storey, roughcast above, and small-paned sash windows.
Inside, the cellars below part of the front and rear have been modernised. Original features in the front range are concealed, with the rear wall partly removed and the chimney stack tunnelled through to provide access to the 19th-century extension. On the upper storey, two rooms to the right of the stack have been combined into one, and there is a disused angle fireplace in the north-west corner. The main posts of the chimney bay are exposed, showing mortices for former long braces. The roof features clasped purlins in six bays with deep cambered collars. The 19th-century extension includes a winder stair with stick balusters and a wreathed handrail, along with several 18th-century six-panelled doors with raised fielded panels remaining inside the building.
