Description

Anthony Nielsen Antiques is a house with a shop, featuring an 18th-century front that belongs to a house and showroom dating back to the 15th or 16th century, which was restored in the 20th century. The building is constructed of rubble with a Cotswold stone roof and has an L-plan with a skew front. It stands two storeys tall with a parapet and has a large chimney on the left side.

On the first floor, there are two windows that are glazing-bar sashes with timber lintels. The ground floor features two wide shallow 20th-century bow windows flanking the entrance. The layout includes a skew unheated shop/showroom area at the front, characterized by high deep chamfered beams in the ceiling, and a pointed archway leading to a rear alley. There is also a door and window in the spine wall, which has been altered, with steps leading up.

The rear room has had its partitions removed, showcasing a fine cross beam ceiling and a notable wide flat-headed moulded fireplace from around 1500, set under a high relieving arch with tracery panelled reveals and corners. The room above the shop contains two skew-plan raised crucks with arch-braced collars and evidence of wind-bracing, along with a moulded Tudor arch fireplace. The rear room on the first floor features a plain Tudor arch fireplace, and above it is a tie-beam roof with wide braces and a square ridge. Laithwaite's interpretation of the building, suggesting it was the earliest recorded one-room house refronted in the 16th century, floored in the 17th century, with a rear wing from around 1600, requires revision.
