11, Cheap Street

Number 11 Cheap Street is a 16th-century timber-framed building that stands three storeys tall. It features a prominent gable on the jettied second floor, which is supported by four moulded brackets and a heavily moulded bressumer. The second floor has modern wooden casements, while the first floor showcases a shallow 17th-century bay, supported by brackets and positioned beneath the bressumer. This bay has ovolo wood mullions and has been slightly altered; it originally had seven lights but now has six, forming a square bay with a moulded cill and cornice. The ground floor is marked by a tiled pentice hood above a well-preserved circa 1900 arcaded shop front. The bressumer of the first-floor jetty has been partly recovered, revealing moulding with Tudor rosettes on the underside. A two-light traceried perpendicular window on the side has been bricked up. At the rear, facing Apple Alley, there is a projecting two-and-a-half storey gabled extension over a basement, with a Regency-style surround to the ground floor window.

Inside, the building has a plain roof structure and features a notable chimney piece on the first floor, with a lintel decorated with rosettes from the 1530s, a moulded cornice, and an angled base with a stop-chamfered surround. The ground floor includes a Regency office that incorporates an 18th-century arched display cupboard with shaped shelves. Access to the basement is through a chamfered doorway leading to Apple Alley, which has a three-centred head and contains a large corbel made of offset stones.
