Huffkins Premises Adjoining Rose And Crown On The South

Huffkins Premises, located adjoining the Rose and Crown on the south side of Burford and Upton High Street, is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the mid to late 19th century. The building features a rubble first floor and a slate roof with brick end chimneys. It stands two storeys tall with attics and includes three gabled dormers, with the outer ones set on the wall face. The front has three windows, which are glazing-bar sashes, with the inner window being paired. Most of the ground floor is taken up by a tripartite glazing-bar shop window, flanked by fluted pilasters from the early 20th century, and there are outer doorways with half-glazed doors that have segmental heads. At the rear, there is a long L-plan wing that is one and two storeys high. Inside the shop, there is a re-set Caernarvon-arch doorway with wave moulding, along with chamfered beams and heavy joists. Upstairs, Tudor arch fireplaces can be found, as noted in the Buildings of England series by J. Sherwood and N. Pevsner.
