Description
Little Minster and The Flat are two houses located on North Street in Ilminster. The Flat, which is No.9, serves as the service wing to No.7 and is now a separate dwelling that cannot be seen from the road. It is accessed through a passage to the right of No.11. The building is constructed of limestone rubble and has a pantile roof, spanning two storeys. No.9 dates from the 17th or 18th century and features an entrance door with raised-and-fielded panels.
No.11, known as Little Minster, is adjacent to No.7 and is also a separate dwelling, dating from the 17th century. It has a two-unit plan that is positioned at a right angle to the road. The street-facing front is made of rough Moolham stone ashlar and has a plain tile roof that continues with that of No.13 to the north. The left gable end features stone coping and a brick stack.
On the first floor, there is a three-light wooden mullioned window with 20th-century leaded panes. The ground floor includes a shop window, likely from the 18th century, which has small panes formed by an 8/8-pane sash on the right and four rows of three fixed panes on the left, all beneath a wooden lintel. The entrance, located in the passage leading to the rear range, faces north and has an eight-raised-and-fielded-panel door with glazing at the top and a tall overlight of four panes. There is one sash window on the first floor and a 20th-century three-light leaded casement on the ground floor. The interior has not been inspected.
