21, Hatter Street

No. 21 Hatter Street is a house that has been converted into a restaurant with living accommodation above. It dates from the 18th century and early 19th century, with some earlier elements. The front is made of white brick, while the sides are rendered. The building features a steeply-pitched plain tiled roof with a wooden cornice decorated with modillions along the front and two gables on the side.

The house is two storeys high, with attics and a cellar. It has a two-window range, featuring 12-pane sash windows set in deep reveals, with projecting stone sills and flat gauged arches. There is a raised brick band above the ground-storey windows. The roof includes two flat-headed dormers covered in lead, which contain 20th-century two-light casement windows.

The entrance door is located on the left side and consists of six raised fielded panels, accompanied by a plain fanlight and a brick surround with plain reveals and a stilted arch. The side of the building has 20th-century shop windows and an entrance door, as well as an external chimney-stack. The base of the chimney is made of stone from the 12th century, featuring moulding at the outer corners, while the upper part is constructed from red brick.

Inside, there are no features that pre-date the 18th century, but there are remnants of a dog-leg stair with turned balusters. The chimney-stack contains three hearths, one on each storey, with two featuring early 19th-century raised cast-iron grates. The attic hearth is surrounded by small old Dutch tiles. It appears that the external stonework is part of the chimney-stack, with the hearths positioned at right angles to it.
