Description
Thames House is a shop and dwelling, now used as shops and offices, likely built in the early 18th century. It features a combination of limestone ashlar and rubble, with roughcast timber framing and plain-tile roofs that have brick gable stacks. The building has a double-depth plan with a short rear wing and stands two storeys high plus an attic. The roughcast front displays a richly-moulded wooden cornice and has four tall windows that are irregularly spaced on the first floor, along with three flat-headed roof dormers that also have moulded cornices. The shop fronts are from the 20th century. The left gable wall is made of ashlar and has a pair of narrow windows on the first floor. The roof is steep-pitched and has two spans. The rear of the building is constructed of rubble and features a short wing that returns from the right end. Inside, there is a large stair hall on the first floor that contains an early 19th-century staircase with a ramped handrail and turned newels.
