Description
This is a late 16th-century town house, later refronted and remodelled in the mid-17th century, with a 17th-century rear wing. Originally timber-framed, the main house is now of grey brick with red brick dressings, and has a gabled old tile roof. A brick rear lateral stack is also present. The building is arranged in an L-shape. It stands three storeys high with a five-window front. A 20th-century shop front is set into the front, with a 20th-century door to the left. The windows are largely mid-19th-century two-light horned sashes with gauged brick flat arches, with flat brick arches over the second-floor sashes. There are blind windows in the central bay, and dentilled eaves.
The rear wing is of rectangular timber framing with a gabled old tile roof and a 19th-century brick ridge stack. It contains a 2-light wood-mullioned window with ovolo moulding on the right, remnants of a 17th-century moulded architrave to a first-floor window, and an 18th-century five-light wood-mullioned window to the left.
Inside the main house, there is a chamfered bressumer above an open fireplace in the rear right wing, and square timber framing to a rear first-floor wall. There are 18th-century two-panelled doors and three queen-post trusses with butt purlins. The rear wing includes chamfered beams, including a roll-stopped ground-floor beam, and three roof trusses with principals morticed into the collar and trenched through the purlins.
