Description
No. 4 Cheap Street is a late 16th-century building with later alterations. It features a large jettied front gable with a projecting verge and stands at 2½ storeys tall. The first floor has two canted wooden bay windows, each with a 1-3-1 light configuration, ovolo mullions, transoms, and dentil cornices. The attic has a Yorkshire sash window. The ground floor has modern shop fronts with part reeded end piers, and there are traces of a first-floor jetty to the left. The roof is covered with pantiles.
At the rear, the building is also 2½ storeys with a double jettied design over a rubble basement. It has massive wooden corbels supporting the bressumers on the ground and first floors, and the exterior is rendered. There is a three-light attic window and a plain mid-19th-century window on the first floor. The ground floor features two ogee wood mullion windows, each with five lights, and two basement windows with similar mouldings, each having four lights. The central entrance has a half-glazed door with a stopped ogee moulded surround. Inside, there is a notable late 17th-century feature: a newel stair on the east side with incised risers and ball-capped newels.
