Description
Central Stores and Sutton Dene is a house that has been converted into a shop and residence. It dates from the 16th century or earlier, with a facade added in the 19th century. The building is timber framed, with the ground floor covered in painted brick and the first floor finished with tile-hanging. It has a plain tile roof and consists of two storeys and attics. The right end of Sutton Dene slightly projects forward, featuring higher eaves and a shallower roof pitch, with the roof being half-hipped on the right side. There is a projecting 19th-century chimney stack on the left gable end, with the front elevation extending to it. Additional brick stacks are located on the rear slope of the roof towards the right end and at the right end itself. The building has two flat-roofed dormers and one hipped dormer, all positioned towards the right end. The windows are arranged irregularly, with five three-light casements; four are evenly spaced on the main range, and one is located on the projecting bay. The central part of the main range features a 19th-century shop front that includes a half-glazed door flanked by scrolled brackets and canted four-light bay windows with a wooden frieze above. There is a panelled door leading to Sutton Dene, accessible by two steps at the right end of the main range. A rear wing on the left has a half-hipped roof and a multiple brick ridge stack. The interior has not been inspected but is said to have a crown-post roof.
