20, West Street

20 West Street is a late 18th century front added to a house dating from around 1600 to 1625. The building has two storeys and is finished in stucco, featuring slightly set back side pilasters and a projecting plinth. On the first floor, there are three irregularly spaced windows with glazing bar sashes and voussoir lintels. The ground floor has two modern glazing bar shop windows; the left window is tripartite with 2-5-2x3 panes, while the right window has 6x3 panes. The left doorway retains its voussoir lintel.

On the return to Crow Lane, there is a large stone chimney stack with moulded corbelling over the ground floor and a weathered capping, topped by a dormered gable. Extending to the northeast is a two-storey wing from around 1650, which was presumably once jettied. The ground floor is built of 19th-century brick, while the first floor is timber framed with two wide braced bays and early 19th-century oriel bays featuring glazing bar casements and cornices. The eaves are wide.

On the ground floor of the wing, there is a three-light segmental headed casement on the left, a central window that includes part of an earlier doorway with a cornice and a three-pane overlight, and a ledged door on the right. To the left, there is a garden wall about 7 feet high and 20 yards long, constructed of large rubble with brick lacing courses, and a segmental headed doorway adjacent to the house.

Inside, the front room and hall have been combined, revealing remains of moulded Jacobean panelling, although some has been removed to No 39 West Street. There is ceiling moulding, and part of the panelling on the right obscures an older fireplace. A late 18th-century segmental hall arch is adjacent, and timber braces can be seen in the fireplace wall. The building also features a fire insurance mark numbered 322563.
