1 and 3, Wolborough Street

The buildings at 1 and 3 Wolborough Street are a group of three houses, later adapted for use as offices, a restaurant, and a shop. They were originally built in the 17th century, with a later recorded date of 1690. The buildings are likely constructed around a timber frame, now rendered and painted, with three gabled roofs facing the street. These roofs are covered in slate and have stacks finished with 19th-century cream brick to the rear left and right. The buildings have a complex plan with three right-angled ranges.

The exterior is two storeys and features a three-window arrangement. The first floor of each unit includes a 20th-century timber-mullioned oriel window supported by brackets. Number 1, located on the corner with East Street, is set back from the street line. It has a moulded cornice, likely over the remains of a former mullioned window, and some rusticated quoins to the first floor on the right-hand side. The ground floor has an early 20th-century shop front projecting to the building line of the front and left return, with plate-glass windows, leaded overlights, moulded sills, and a 20th-century door to the upper floor on the rear of the right return. Number 2 has a recessed four-light window on the ground floor, mirroring the oriel above. A 17th-century painted door is set to the right, incorporating 17th-century wrought-iron strap hinges between studded front panelling and the planked rear. Number 3 has hanging tiles at the apex of the gable, now heavily painted over, along with an oriel to the first floor and a late 19th-century shop front featuring pilasters, a moulded fascia, and decorative wooden corners to the plate-glass windows (one to the left and two to the right). Numbers 2 and 3 have painted simulated timber framing on their gables.

The interior has been altered and was only partially inspected, with the roof remaining unseen.
