Description
7 The Parade and 1-4 Barbican Court is a former warehouse that incorporates parts of a 17th-century merchant's house, now converted into flats. The building features a fireplace wall that was extended to create the warehouse, and it has a datestone inscribed "T.V. 1840". The structure is built from Plymouth limestone rubble with some stone dressings and brick segmental arches over 19th-century openings. It has a dry slate roof that is hipped at the front range end facing the street and has a deep plan.
The exterior consists of three storeys with a two-window range at the front end, featuring 20th-century two-light casements with glazing bars. The right-hand return has an irregular window arrangement of 1:2:2, with similar windows but no ground floor openings. The two-window range on the right is the heightened internal side wall of the rear wing of the 17th-century house, along with the internal wall of its gable end at the far right. Inside, there are three 17th-century moulded granite fireplaces. The ground floor fireplaces have Plymouth limestone relieving arches, while the first-floor fireplace, located above and to the left of the right-hand fireplace, features a central stepped triangular panel. All fireplaces are currently blocked with rubble.
The interior of the warehouse has not been inspected but is likely to retain its original floors and roof structure.
