Chewar House

Chewar House is a shop, office, and dwelling built in the early to mid-18th century, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, featuring some flared headers, and has a plain-tile roof. The building likely has a three-unit plan and is two stories high with a three-window range. The elevation facing The Chewar includes a four-panel door on the far left leading to No. 2, with a stop-chamfered wood lintel extending over a six-pane sash window to the right. There is a 20th-century door to the left of center, with a long stop-chamfered wood lintel extending over brickwork that probably replaced a shop window. The first floor has 19th-century sash windows, each with stop-chamfered wood lintels, and there is a brick plinth at the base. The right gable end, which faces Market Hill, features a 20th-century shop front on the ground floor, a tripartite sash window on the first floor, and a 19th-century sash window in the gable above, all with stop-chamfered wood lintels. Inside, there is a chamfered spine beam in the ground-floor room and a common rafter roof with collars and two tiers of purlins.
