108 Exeter Street

108 Exeter Street is a timber-framed townhouse that dates back to the 16th century. It underwent alterations in the 18th and early 19th centuries when it was used as an inn, and it was converted back to a dwelling in 2003.

The building features a timber frame with brick infill and a tiled pitched roof that has a moulded eaves band, along with a chimney stack located on the rear slope of the roof. The plan is rectangular, with the first floor extending over the yard entrance to the left.

The exterior showcases a two-storey, colour-washed brick front with an over-sailing first floor. To the left, there is a yard entrance adorned with decorative 20th-century cast iron gates featuring a central anchor motif. On the right side, the ground floor is flanked by 19th-century sash windows surrounding an early 19th-century glazed door set in a moulded surround, although this entrance is no longer in use. The first floor has three sash windows, each with three-by-four panes and flush architrave frames. An early 19th-century four-by-four pane sash window opens onto the passage to the left. Inside the passage, there is a late 20th-century window and a doorway that now serves as the main entrance to 108 Exeter Street.

Inside, the building retains its 16th-century timber partition walls and roof. The roof features a three-bay Queen strut design, complete with tie beams and purlins. Carpenter's marks can be seen on at least five timbers on the first and second floors, along with graffiti on both levels. The later inserted chimney stack likely dates from the 18th century. Although there have been some repairs to the roof, including the replacement of two of its six curved wind braces in the late 20th century, the roof remains largely intact.
