31, New Street

31 New Street is a Grade II listed timber-framed building that showcases two distinct stages of construction. The earlier section dates from the 16th century or earlier, while the later part was built between the late 16th and early 17th centuries. A third brick section was added at the northeast end. The building has two storeys, with the front elevation featuring red brick infilling and the rear elevation displaying brick and rendered infilling. The complete timber-framed structure is visible from the inside.

The southwest two bays represent the original cottage, which has tension braces in the upper panels of the end bays on all elevations. The northeast elevation includes a full-height timber-framed partition that is now internal. The roof features a queen post and queen strut windbrace design, with a chimney breast at the southwest end and an internal breast with a truncated stack at the northeast end. The late 16th to early 17th-century timber-framed bay at the northeast end has straight tension braces. A lower 18th-century or 19th-century brick bay was added to the northeast, along with a 20th-century passage and garage. The original Horsham stone slab roof has been replaced with modern tiles.

The rear elevation includes two horizontally sliding sash windows and older window frames, one of which may still show traces of a mullioned window. The front elevation, starting from the southwest, has a first bay with a three-light leaded casement above a modern bow window on the ground floor. The second bay features a ledged door with a modern two-light metal-framed window with small panes to the right and a two-light leaded window above. The third bay has a modern three-light metal-framed window with small panes below and a three-light leaded window with an old catch above. The fourth bay contains an early 20th-century two-light window with small panes above. There is a narrow section of mathematical tile or brick on top of the timber-framed construction at the southwest end.

Inside, there is an old ledged door with old hinges in the entrance bay, leading to a probably 19th-century four flush panelled door that opens into the southwest room. The roof of the original portion may show traces of smoke blackening at the northeast end.
