3-17 High Street

This is a timber-framed range dating from the 16th century or earlier, believed to have been one of the workshops used by weavers who were prominent in Biddenden during the Middle Ages; the first floor was reportedly a continuous workroom where looms were fixed. The building has a slightly curved front and is two storeys high with attics. The timber frame is filled with painted brick, and the roof is tiled. There are thirteen windows and nine hipped dormers. The windows are casements with diamond-shaped or small square leaded panes.

No. 3 has two small bays on the ground floor, covered by a continuous tiled canopy. Nos. 5 and 7 each feature an oriel window on the first floor with two tiers of seven lights, divided by wooden mullions and transoms, and three brackets below. Two obtusely-pointed doorways are situated beneath the oriel windows, with the inscription 'Tate Door' above them, along with a plaster cast of a bearded man's head – a feature previously associated with a Spanish Armada shipwreck but now recognized as a local myth, and all now sheltered by a tiled canopy.

Nos. 11 and 13 have similar oriel windows, each with eight lights. Nos. 9 and 15 have slightly projecting windows of four lights without brackets. Approximately two-thirds of No. 15 is stuccoed, incorporating a modern shop window on the ground floor with glazing bars, and a sash window with glazing bars above, as well as an iron bracket supporting a lantern.

No. 17 has two oriel windows—one with seven lights and one with six lights—and two modern shop windows, all protected by a continuous tiled canopy. A footpath in front of the building is paved with Bethersden marble and extends approximately 12 yards to the southeast.
