Description
30 Grove Street is a house dating from the mid to late 17th century. It has timber-framed walls that are rendered over, with the front designed to resemble stone ashlar. The roof, added in the 20th century, is tiled, and there is a brick stack. The building has an L-plan layout with a two-unit lobby-entry at the front. It stands two storeys high and features a two-window range. The central door is a plank door from the 18th century, framed by a beaded architrave also from that period. The ground floor has mid-20th century casement windows, while the first floor has late 19th-century casements. The roof is gabled with a ridge stack.
At the rear left, there is a similar two-bay wing that adjoins a stair turret and an outshut. Inside, the house has exposed timber-framing throughout, with chamfered beams and original joists. The fireplaces in the central stack have chamfered bressumers. There are winder stairs in the stair turret at the back of the stack. On the first floor, there are 17th-century ribbed doors, and the timber-framed trusses are obscured by an inserted ceiling. Additionally, there is an original spice cupboard with butterfly hinges next to the right fireplace.
