Number 19 And Attached Brick Wall

Number 19 is a house dating from the early 18th century, located on Timber Street in Chippenham. The building features limestone rubble that has been painted on the front, with freestone architraves and a plinth. It has a plain tile roof with a brick stack on the rear left slope of the gable end. The house has a double-depth plan with an early 19th-century rear wing.

The exterior is two storeys high and has a one-window range. On the first floor, there is a cyma-moulded stone-mullioned three-light window with a central two-pane casement. The ground floor features a three-light window with chamfered stone mullions and a hoodmould without labels, along with a central 19th-century sash window to the left. To the right, there is a wide planked door with roll-edge moulding. The rear wing, dating from the early 19th century, includes a platband and roll-moulding on the two-light plate-glass sash windows, with six-over-one panes on the ground floor and a six-panel door to the left. The roof of the house is continuous with that of the adjacent Number 21.

Inside, the front room has a chamfered axial beam with run-out stops that meets a large chimney-breast from a former open fire. There is an early 18th-century semicircular recess with shaped shelves in the rear wall, along with panelled shutters, soffit, and surround to the window. To the left of the fire, in a rear lobby, is an early 19th-century staircase with stick balusters and cupboard stairs leading to the attic. The ground-floor rear room features an axial beam, a painted stone surround with a moulded mantelshelf from a former open fire, and a recess where a former mullioned window has been covered by the 19th-century rear wing. The first-floor front room has some exposed timber studding on the rear wall, lath-and-plaster walls, and wide floorboards. To the right of the blocked chimney-breast is an 18th-century cupboard with panelled double doors. The attic, likely three bays, has chamfered butt purlins, and the entrance to a cellar with stone steps is now blocked. The front door is fitted with an 18th-century lock.

Attached to the rear, at the north-east corner, is a Flemish-bond brick boundary wall that is approximately 4 meters high and 4 meters long.
