Description
Maison Stella is a late 16th or early 17th century shop and house, with a late 18th century facade and alterations from the same period. It is timber-framed and has a mathematical tile front elevation and a plain tile roof. The building is two timber-framed bays wide and extends over two storeys with attics and a cellar. It features a moulded wood eaves cornice and a steeply pitched roof with a large brick ridge stack to the right end and one hipped dormer towards the right end. The fenestration is regular, comprising glazing-bar sashes. A plain wood mullioned window with leaded-lights is located at the rear. A 19th century shop front is present on the ground floor, featuring a central half-glazed door. The interior retains exposed timbers and a side-purlin roof with curved windbraces and no collars to the central truss.
