The Nook (North West Wing), The Nook (North East Wing, Including Pandora'S Box), Hell'S Bells Corner And Christies

This building is a house, later divided into four properties including three shops, likely dating back to the late medieval period and extended in the 17th century. Subsequent alterations occurred in the 18th and 19th centuries. The building is timber-framed with visible timberwork, including tie beams, curved tension braces, and red brick infilling to the north wall. The west front facing North Street displays the original timber framing in the northern bay, while the adjacent three bays have been re-faced with red brick on the ground floor and tile-hanging above, and the southern bay is now clad with wooden shingles. The roof is tiled, and the southern bay features gables facing south and west, incorporating carved bargeboards and pendants. The building is two storeys high, with six windows on the front, predominantly casement windows. Three 20th-century shopfronts have been added.

The eastern part of the building is faced with stone, with some tile-hanging on the first floor towards the eastern end. The north front includes 19th-century casement windows, along with a smaller, earlier casement window with leaded lights and grille. The south wall, bordering the passageway between the northern and southern bays, exhibits stonework, followed by exposed timber framing with plastered infill on the first floor and 18th-century red brick on a cement plinth to the ground floor.

Internally, the northwestern bay features late medieval timber framing with jowled posts and curved tension braces. The adjacent northeastern bays retain early 17th-century timber framing, with exposed floor joists. Open fireplaces are present in the ground-floor kitchen and first-floor lounge, featuring wooden bressumers, and the 17th-century chimneystack remains visible. The roof structure above appears to have been replaced in the 18th century. Wattle and daub walling is also exposed. The interior of other parts of the building were not inspected.
