3 And 5, North Street

Nos 3 and 5, North Street, represent a medieval timber-framed house largely refronted in the 18th century, with 20th-century additions. The building is two storeys high, with a three-window facade. The roof is tiled, with a half-hipped section on the south side and a low eaves outshot on the north side, along with a catslide roof at the rear. A shafted stack is also present. The front (east) elevation is brick, constructed in a Flemish bond with rubbed flat arches, a first-floor band, and a blue header panel above the doorway to No 3. The south wall is primarily tile-hung, featuring scalloped bands. Windows are wooden casements. The entrances are through two boarded doors set in solid frames.

Inside, much of the original timber frame remains. The northern section consists of a two-bay unit set at a right angle, incorporating an upper window with two lights and cusped heads carved from solid timber. A stack has been inserted, and a first-floor fireplace in No 3 is framed in stone with a 4-centred, chamfered arched opening. The ground floor of No 3 contains 17th-century panelling, a complete 18th-century corner cupboard, a further 18th-century utility cupboard, and the original staircase with 18th-century rails. A small rear extension, constructed in a matching style, has also been added.
