No 15 And Shop To The Right

No. 15 and the shop to the right is a house and shop located on Curzon Street in Calne, dating from the early 18th century but refronted in the mid-19th century. The shop also dates from the mid-19th century. The front is rendered from the 20th century, while the right return and rear are made of limestone rubble, and the shop features painted ashlar front with English-bond brick. The building has a crested pantile roof with a brick stack on the right gable end.

It has a two-unit plan with a rear service wing on the left and a one-storey shop attached on the right. The structure stands two storeys high with an attic and has a symmetrical three-window range. The windows are flat-arched, 19th-century horned plate-glass sashes with margin panes. The central window above the door has a semicircular top pane with engraved red margin panes, while the others are paired. The 19th-century door is made of stripped pine and has six panels, likely repositioned.

The two-storey rubblestone rear wing features a similar crested pantile roof and a brick ridge stack, with a blocked window in the apex of the rear gable end that has a stone architrave. The side openings have timber lintels. The single-storey former butcher's shop has a coped ashlar parapet, and to the right, there is a large three-over-three pane horned sash shop window with a moulded fascia supported by consoles, panelled pilasters, and a bracketed cill. The restored 19th-century door includes a large pierced cast-iron overlight.

Inside, there is a stone-flagged area that may have been a former through-passage, now blocked at the rear, leading to the stone-flagged kitchen wing, which features a chamfered axial beam on the ground floor. The room on the front left has a cupboard with early 18th-century raised and fielded panels next to the chimney breast, while the room on the front right has recesses with early 18th-century shaped shelves and moulded architraves flanking a late 19th-century fireplace. The attic displays exposed trenched purlins from the 18th-century roof.
