77, Guildhall Street

No. 77 Guildhall Street is a house and shop, now functioning solely as a house. It has an early 19th-century front and a core that dates back to the 16th century. The building features a timber-framed core that is faced in red brick, with the ground storey painted, and the sides rendered. It has a slate roof with a wide paired modillion eaves soffit and a gabled wing at the rear.

The exterior consists of three storeys and a cellar, with a two-window range. The first storey has 12-pane sash windows, while the second storey has 6-pane sashes. The ground storey features a single vertical glazing bar in deep reveals. There is a raised brick band below the windows of the first and second storeys. The ground storey sashes are paired and have a stucco surround, along with the remains of a shop fascia supported by small ornate console brackets. There are two adjacent matching doorways, both accessed by steps and set within semicircular-headed brick arches: one is a six-panel door, and the other, on the left, is half-glazed and provides access to No. 76A at the rear of No. 76.

Inside, the cellar has old rubble walls in part, while the remainder is lined with 19th-century brick, all of which is brick vaulted. The front range consists of two bays with exposed main ceiling beams that have wide chamfers and triangle stops, along with cut-off tenons indicating a former partition wall in the cross-beam. On the upper storey, the main beam is partly boxed and features step stops. An internal chimney stack connects the front range to the rear, which is divided into two short bays that jet out along the south side, with exposed joist ends supported by small solid brackets. The upper storey has a cambered tie-beam leading to an open truss. The rear range now forms part of a wide gabled wing, half of which belongs to No. 78, which is adjacent to the north. The top storey is an early 19th-century addition.
