Description
Harris Carpets is a house that has been converted into a shop. It dates from the 18th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building features whitewashed stucco cladding and plain tiled hipped roofs. It stands three storeys tall and has a modillioned eaves cornice at the base of the parapet. There are stacks located at the rear and ends of the building.
The façade displays a giant Corinthian order on the first and second floors, with angle pilasters and paired central pilasters at the front. The building is four bays wide, with two bays on either side of the central pilasters. The windows are 12-pane glazing-bar sash windows, some of which still have crown glass. Each floor has four windows, and the lintels are adorned with vermiculated keystone blocks. Below, there is a 20th-century plate glass shop front with central doors.
Notably, there is a medieval undercroft beneath the house, which was mentioned by Margaret Wood in her article "Thirteenth Century Domestic Architecture in England" published in the Archaeological Journal in 1950.
