3 And 5, Broad Street

This is a mid- to late 17th-century shop and house, with later alterations from the late 18th or early 19th century and the late 20th century. The front is rendered to look like ashlar, while the back is painted brick. It has a tiled roof and an 'L' shape, with a square stair turret in the angle. The front faces the street with four windows, rising three storeys.

The ground floor on the left has a plinth and a 325mm nib projecting up from beneath the gable of the adjacent property, extending for its full height. There is a pilaster, a sash window over a grated cellar opening, and a flat head. A further pilaster leads to a sash window, then a projecting fascia extending to a late 20th-century shop front on the right-hand side. A six-panel door sits towards the left. The first floor has two pilasters and sash windows matching those below, with a further pilaster over the door. A plain string runs across the left, extending up to the level of the shop front. Above, there are two sash windows, each with three panes. The second floor has one sash window on the left and two on the right, all mirroring the shop front, but with shallower reveals. A large, square brick chimney is behind the ridge in the left half, with a gabled stack.

At the rear, on the right, there are two two-light mullion and transom windows on the ground floor, a sash window above, and a four-pane casement window on the second floor. Above this is a timber-framed gable. A gable is also visible on the left return, where the stair turret is set back, with gables on its adjacent faces. A tall two-light mullion and transom window illuminates the stairs. There is a further gable on the rear wall on the left.

Inside the left half at the rear, there is a dado rail, a coved plaster cornice, and two stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Panelling reaches two panels high. The stairs wind around a narrow well, featuring square, beaded newels, a heavy moulded string, and a handrail with spiral balusters. The property was likely built as a single house.
