7, Cricklade Street

No. 7 Cricklade Street is a shop with offices and storage above, dating to the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with later alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The front and sides are stuccoed, the rear is of stucco and coursed limestone rubble, and the roof is covered with stone slates, with concrete tiles to the rear. A brick stack sits on the gable to the rear.

The building is three storeys high with an attic, and has a four-window front. The first floor has four late 18th-century six-over-six sash windows in plain reveals. The second floor has three similar windows and one blind window. The ground floor has a mid-19th-century shopfront featuring a recessed glazed door in the centre, flanked by two windows. The windows have recessed panels to the stall riser and a heavy moulded cill. They are divided into four and three panes by heavy moulded glazing bars with leaf-moulded bases and capitals. Pilaster strips are placed to the left and right, and there was originally a frieze with a moulded surround; a probable deep moulded cornice has been removed. A deep plat band sits above the first floor, and a moulded eaves cornice runs along the top. One gabled dormer includes a two-light leaded casement.

Internally, the ground floor has 20th-century alterations, including a new staircase from the ground to the first floor. On the first floor, the left-hand room has a ceiling featuring moulded plaster decoration divided into two parts by a heavy cross beam, which was not intended to be exposed. This ceiling is thought to be late 17th and early 18th century, though it is heavily coated in paint and damaged. It was reportedly removed and reinstated during repairs in the 1980s. Chamfered jambs of a probable late 17th-century fireplace have been exposed after the removal of a later fireplace.

A late 17th and early 18th-century oak staircase leads from the first floor to the attic, and has a scissor string, splat balusters with moulding applied to their outsides, a corniced handrail and square newels. Rooms on the second and third floors to the right are divided from the staircase by a late 17th-century panel partition. The second floor has three three-panel doors and rough beams, one of which is chamfered with ogee stops. The attic has a 19th-century stone fireplace with a mid-19th-century grate. The front roof range has a three-bay structure with massive collars extending to the rear into a gable carrying a stack, and into a rear wing. The rear wing has curved principals and butt purlins, with new rafters and a plank ridge. The roof structure throughout is partially concealed and altered.
