Description

Nos. 1 and 3 Midhurst Road is a house and shop that dates from the mid-17th century, featuring a three-bay cottage with an early 19th-century extension at the north end. The building is timber-framed and has an early 19th-century brick facing, with red brick and grey diaper headers. The left side elevation is tile-hung, and it has a tiled roof with two brick chimneystacks. The structure is two storeys high and has three windows. The windows are 20th-century casements but are set within their original surrounds, featuring cambered heads on the ground floor. There is a dentilled eaves cornice and a course of three grey bricks' depth between the floors of the original cottage, along with a grey brick panel between the first-floor windows of the original part. The original section has a cambered doorcase with a 20th-century plank door. The added bay includes an early to mid-19th-century bay shopfront with cambered arches. At the rear, there is an outshut. Inside, the ground floor has an axial beam and an open fireplace with a carved wooden bressumer. There is a close-studded wall between the house and the outshut. The roof features an angled queenpost design with substantial posts, pegged rafters, and collars.
