73, Ermin Street

No. 73 on Ermin Street is a house that may have originally been at least two cottages, dating from the late 16th century to the mid-17th century. It features square-panelled timber framing with plastered infill, although much of this has been replaced with painted brick infill. The house has a thatched roof adorned with decorative ridge thatching and a brick chimney. The building has an 'L'-shaped plan and is 1½ storeys tall.

The front has irregular windows, including two 20th-century steel casements with glazing bars and a small 4-pane window on the ground floor. There is also a 2-light steel casement in the upper right gable that faces forward, along with two 2-light eyebrow dormers on the left. The rear elevation features 20th-century single and 2-light casements on the ground floor, a 3-light wooden casement functioning as an eyebrow dormer, and a 2-light wooden casement with horizontal glazing bars on the upper floor of the rear gable. Access is provided through a 20th-century flat-roofed extension, with two part-glazed doorways at the north end. The interior was not inspected.
