Description
Old Printers House is a house that was later used as a shop and is now a house and office. It dates from the 16th century and was clad in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is timber-framed and weatherboarded, with a red brick ground floor and a tile-hung first floor at the rear of the left return front. The upper part features exposed framing with plaster infilling above the red brick at the rear. The roof is plain tiled, half-hipped to the left, and half-hipped over the rear wing. There is a tall red brick stack to the left behind the gable.
The building has two storeys, with a jetty below the weatherboarding. On the southwest (street) front, there is one window on the first floor, flanked by two 18th-century flat-bowed shop fronts beside a glazed door below. The left return front features an 18th-century curved shop front with two casements above. There is one window on both floors to the left, with a boarded door at the entrance on the left. At the rear, there is a 17th-century flat wooden oriel with a pentice hood over it on the first floor, flanked by two three-light casements. Below, there are two casements with a boarded door to the left, and two blocked windows under the gable.
