3, Gosditch Street

No. 3 Gosditch Street is a house that has been converted into a restaurant. It dates from the late 17th century to early 18th century, though it may have earlier origins, and has undergone alterations in the late 18th century, 19th century, and 20th century. The front features stucco on timber-framing, while the ground floor is made of ashlar. The building has a stone slate roof and a rebuilt brick stack at the rear. The main range faces the street and includes a contemporary rear wing.

The house is three storeys tall with an attic and has a three-window range. On the first floor, there are two 4/4-pane sash windows and one 6/6-pane sash window, all set in timber architraves. The second floor has three similar 4/4-pane sash windows. The ground floor features a Gothic arcade added in 1914, which includes three 2-light windows with traceried heads and leaded lights, as well as a pair and a single part-glazed plank door in pointed openings with traceried heads. There are also two gabled dormers with 4-pane single-light casements. A single-storey extension was added to the rear in the 20th century.

The interior has been partially inspected and includes a 20th-century staircase and other 20th-century alterations. The ground floor front has a 17th-century stone fireplace with a deep moulded stone lintel and entablature, which may have been imported, as well as a late 18th-century or early 19th-century timber chimneypiece at the rear. The second floor has fragments of raised-and-fielded timber panelling on the front left and right sides, along with two late 17th-century eight-panel doors featuring incised moulding. Parts of the butt-purlin roof structure are visible in the front range, while the rear wing has a butt-purlin roof with curved principals, two tiers of purlins, and a short yoke to carry the ridge, which is now concealed by the ceiling. Photographs from 1914 document the alterations made to the ground floor and are held at the Corinium Museum.
