Bishop'S House

Bishop's House, located at No 55 on New Street, dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It is constructed of silver grey brick with red brick dressings, which include window arches and a string course made of rubbed red brickwork. The building features stone window sills and a heavy moulded wooden modillion cornice. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with old tiles.

The house has two storeys and an attic, with two dormers that have moulded pediments and contemporary leaded casements. There are six windows, all 18th century sashes with glazing bars; the first-floor windows have flush frames. The doorway is slightly recessed and has a moulded architrave, topped with a pedimented door hood, likely a replacement, supported by engraved scroll brackets. The entrance includes a good 10-panelled door.

Bishop's House is part of a group that includes Nos 37 to 43 (odd), White Cottage, the Malthouse of Henley Brewery, Nos 51 to 55 (odd), Wattle Cottage, and Nos 84 to 88 (even), as well as No 29 Thameside.
