3, Bedford Place

This is a 17th-century timber-framed house located on Bedford Place, which was restored and significantly altered around 1840. The building is three storeys high and has a stuccoed exterior. The second floor projects outwards on a continuous bressumer, supported by three gabled sections with decorative pendants. The roof is slate-covered. The ground and first floors feature square-headed sash windows with obtusely pointed panes and wooden dripstones, retaining their original glazing bars. Second-floor windows in the gables are casements, also with obtusely pointed panes. A porch with clustered columns and a pediment gives access to a doorway featuring an obtusely pointed fanlight above a six-panel door, which itself displays a hexafoil design in each panel. The eastern front has projecting first and second floors supported by bressumers, with the upper bressumer displaying the date 1632 and a gable above. On the western front, a stuccoed chimney breast is visible, alongside a projecting second floor supported by a bressumer with a gable above. The building is part of a group with numbers 4 to 7 on Bedford Place.
