Description
No 14A (Warwick House) and No 16 are located on Cheap Street and date back to 1625. They feature three two-storey fronts, with Nos 10 to 14 having stuccoed exteriors, while No 12 is made of stone rubble. Although the external details are primarily from the early 19th century, parts of the structures date back to the 17th century or earlier.
No 10 has a tiled roof and two first-floor sash windows without glazing bars. It also includes two shop windows on either side of a central doorway, which has a moulded stuccoed frame and keystone, leading to a half-glazed door.
No 12, with its stone rubble front, has two first-floor windows and one modern box dormer. The ground floor features a central six-flush-panelled door flanked by panelled pilasters with angle roundels, topped by an entablature. There are small shop windows on either side of the doorway, including a small 19th-century splayed shop window to the right with a shutter groove, entablature, and fluting on the frame.
Nos 14, 14A, and 16 form a single block with three first-floor windows and a parapet. The slate roof is complemented by the doorway to Warwick House (No 14A), which has fluted pilasters, angle roundels, and a cornice, leading to a six-flush panelled door in flush-panelled reveals. No 14 features a large plate-glass shop front, while No 16 has a 19th-century shop window with a doorway to the left, along with panelled pilasters and an entablature, and two doors with three flush panels each.
These buildings are part of a group that includes Nos 2 to 30 (even) and Nos 34 to 50 (even).
