Description
3 Wharf Street is a house that has been converted into a picture gallery. It dates from around 1700 and has been altered in the 19th, 20th, and early 21st centuries. The front is finished in stucco that mimics ashlar, while the wing features a timber frame with brick infill, and the roofs are covered in plain tiles. The building stands two storeys high with an attic and consists of two bays along with a rear wing.
Notable architectural features include rusticated quoins and a string course below a corniced parapet. The shop front has two recessed doors with over-lights, located to the left of a canted shop window that has panelled aprons and rounded corners. Flanking the shop front are fluted and panelled pilasters, with brackets that support a dentilled cornice over the fascia. On the first floor, there are two canted bay windows with transoms, casements, and moulded cornices, and between them hangs a decorative iron sign bracket. The roof includes two 20th-century two-light casement dormers and a brick stack on the right side.
At the rear, there is a gabled wing constructed from small-scantling, square-panelled timber framing, featuring queen struts in the gable. A timber-framed outshut projects from the left side of the wing, followed by a 19th-century brick single-storey gabled former wash-house, which has a door on the right side of a three-light, twelve-pane casement window on its inner return.
Inside the shop, there are slender cast-iron columns decorated with an acanthus leaf motif. In the rear wing, the ground floor has two unsquared cross-beams. The front range features a stop-chamfered spine beam on the first floor, supported by a large central post, and a closed-string staircase leading up to the attic, which has turned balusters and square-section newels, with the newel on the attic floor topped with a polygonal finial.
