Description
13 Cheap Street is a 18th-century building that was remodeled from a former jettied structure, with 19th-century additions. The first floor is rendered and grooved to resemble ashlar, while the ground floor is made of rubble. The building has two storeys and sits above a segmental-barrel vaulted cellar. The pantile roof features two hipped dormers. On the first floor, there are three glazing bar sash windows with plain architraves, with the two left-hand windows paired. The left bend portion and the end elevation facing King Street have a first-floor overhang with timber-framing, which includes 20th-century applied timbering but retains an original three-light ogee moulded wood mullion window. The angled end elevation also displays applied timbering and has a steeply pointed stone-tiled roof with a hipped semi-dormer. There is a rendered and battered return with two wall chimneys, and the building has a modern shop front. It is prominent and picturesque, although the interior has been altered.
