GV II

House in row. Early or mid C17 front, but rebuilt after fire c1985. Timber-frame with rectangular-panelled upper floor and close-studding to other floors, plaster infill; brickwork to rear, tile roof, brick stacks. A street front with 3 jettied storeys, with throughway to the left; the large main structure and wing almost entirely rebuilt after loss through fire. 4 storeys, 1-windowed. The third floor has a 6-light casement with transom, slightly projected from the face of the square-panel framework. At first and second floors is a wide canted oriel window with 1:5:1-lights plus transom, in narrow vertical-panelled framing, and with square decorative panelling below the second floor lights. The ground floor has a 3+3-light late C19 shop front in casements with transom, above a stall riser of herring-bone 2-coloured bricks. The framing members and the window mullions and transoms all have ovolo-mould edges. The jetties are on scrolled end brackets, and have moulded bressumer fronts and returns, with a moulded eaves cornice. Entrances are from the throughway. INTERIOR retains a little of the original framing, with heavy transverse beams, but is almost entirely a late C20 reconstruction. The front, however, remains an important element in the street, and is a fine example of a timber-framed town house front of the period.
