3, Landgate Square

No. 3 Landgate Square is a house dating from around 1600, featuring a timber-framed addition to No. 2. The ground floor is refaced with painted brick, while the upper floor is plastered. It has a peg-tiled roof with a modern brick chimney. The front has one three-light 20th-century casement window on both the ground and first floors, alongside two small late 16th-century wooden mullioned windows with ovolo moulding on the first floor. The left side of the house is particularly fine. An early 17th-century doorcase with a rectangular fanlight and a studded door is present. The rear elevation includes a modern dormer. The structure is a single bay with a continuous jetty, and the roof is of the side purlin and collar type, as noted in the Rape of Hastings Architectural Survey No. 609. The house is depicted in a drawing from 1633 by Sir Anthony Van Dyck.
