Description
Number 46A is an attached house, now used as offices, dating from the mid to late 17th century, with 18th-century windows and a rear section rebuilt in the 19th century. The building features a timber frame with render and brick, along with limestone dressings at the rear, a left-hand lateral stack, and a pantile hipped roof. It has four storeys and a one-window range. The gabled front is set back from the street, with a ground-floor 20th-century shop that extends out in front, flush 20th-century casements, and paired third-floor 6/6-pane sash windows. The right-hand return includes a 17th-century six-panel door covered in studded board at the rear. The rear elevation facing All Saints' Court was rebuilt in the 19th century with brick and tuck pointing above a rendered ground floor. It has a splayed left-hand corner with a semicircular-arched doorway that is now a window, and a mid-19th-century shallow-bowed shop front between reeded pilasters leading to a cornice, featuring a large semicircular-arched three-light window. There are pilaster strips above to a cornice and parapet, with seven stepped voussoirs leading to 4/4-pane sash windows on the first floor and 8/8-pane sash windows on the second floor, the top one obscured by scaffolding at the time of review. Inside, there is a right-hand stair flight with column newels, a cast-iron range on the first floor at the rear with a reeded fire surround, and plain fire surrounds on the upper floors. The building also has attached wrought-iron spear-headed area railings along the All Saints' Court elevation.
