Number 7 And Attached Wall

Number 7 is a house, built between 1667 and 1670 for William Lambe, a gentleman, and later converted to include a separate flat on the upper floor and attic. The building incorporates medieval walls and was significantly altered in the 18th and early 19th centuries with an extension. It is constructed of stone rubble, random rubble, ashlar quoins, brick, and stucco, with a tiled roof, gables, gabled dormers, and brick stacks. The house is a double-depth block with a prominent cross-wing projecting on the west side forming an L-shape. A later, single-storey block flanks the entrance, and a recessed wing was added to the east side, creating a small yard enclosed by walls.

The main block and wing are three storeys high, with an attic and cellar. The entrance is via an early 19th-century archway leading to a passage between the projecting wing and a small, single-storey, gabled block. Steps ascend to a two-storey porch in the angle of the main block and wing. The stuccoed entrance archway has plain jambs and a basket arch, framed by square piers with recessed panels. To the right of the archway is the front of the cross-gabled wing, featuring an offset plinth and a buttress capped with weathering above first-floor level. Each floor has two late 18th- or early 19th-century sash windows with glazing bars (3x4 panes) in plain openings, and the gable has a double casement with leadlights. To the left of the archway, the brick front of the small block has a central tripartite window with glazing bars (3x4 and 1x4 panes) in a timber frame with a segmental-arched brick head. The side of the wing and the front of the main block to the left have late 17th-century cross windows. A fire escape door replaces a casement in one dormer, and another dormer has a double casement. The gable end of the main block is brick with a coped gable. The south-facing garden front is of brick and includes four bays, originally with Dutch gables. The ground floor has three sash windows and a 20th-century French door to the left, while the upper floors have four sash windows with glazing bars, and four 19th-century gabled dormers. An early 18th-century wing extends to the right, with a band at first-floor level. Medieval masonry is visible in the east wall at a low level.

Inside, a dog-leg staircase has a closed string, turned balusters, and a swept handrail, likely dating to the 19th century. Principal rooms feature 18th- and 19th-century joinery and chimney pieces. The cellar has stop-chamfered bridging beams with run-out stops. The brick walls enclose a yard to the northeast, with a segmental-arched doorway.
