Description
Number 30, including the L-shaped wing, is a building that likely dates back to the 17th century. It is constructed of two storeys in rubble with a stone and brick chimney stack and a tile roof. The plain elevation features three lights with 19th-century windows and wooden lintels. The river elevation has one window on each storey and a canted four-light bay that overlooks the water. Water flows through two cut-away arches at the base on the eastern side. At the rear, there is modern fenestration and a central archway that connects to the storage wing. Originally cottages, the building is currently undergoing extensive modernization. The storage shed forms an L-shaped wing with a large doorway leading to the courtyard and small later windows. On the road side, there is carved 19th-century barge-boarding, and the building has two gables that are roughly rendered above the rubble base. The rest of the structure is rubble with red brick window architraves. Number 30 and the adjacent footbridge are part of a group.
