17 And 17A, St Lawrence Lane

Nos. 17 and 17A on St Lawrence Lane are a house that has been divided into two separate residences. The building likely dates back to the 17th century but has undergone significant alterations in the 18th and 19th centuries. The exterior features rendered walls that are lined to imitate masonry, with stone rubble visible on the right side wall. It has a pair of slated roofs that are gabled towards the street, along with a small section of parallel roof to the left. There are two chimneys on the rear wall: one made of stone rubble on the right and a red-brick one on the left. The building is two storeys high with a twin-gabled front, where the valley is partly infilled, and a short extension to the left. The ground storey has five windows and a doorway, while the upper storey has three windows. The windows are sashes, with the two right-hand ground storey windows and the right-hand second storey window featuring two panes per sash. The right side wall has a two-light wooden casement window in the upper storey, with two panes per light. The interior has not been inspected, but a description from 1973 notes a dado with fielded panels and a first-floor wood bolection moulded mantel. The building is reputed to have been the Golden Fleece Inn at one time.
