Description

32 and 34 Front Road is a building dating from the 18th century, featuring a front that belongs to a timber-framed structure from the 17th century or earlier. It stands two storeys high with attics, constructed of red brick, and includes a string course of red brick with grey headers. The roof is tiled and has dormers, along with a brick modillion cornice and overhanging eaves. The building has four windows and doorcases topped with flat hoods, which have tiled canopies added above them. The doors consist of six moulded panels. Number 32 also has an attached weatherboarded building to the north, which was likely originally a coach-house.
