Number 6 And Associated Boundary Walling

Number 6 is a house with medieval origins, significantly remodelled around 1800 in a Picturesque Gothic style. It is constructed from local stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a clay pantiled roof punctuated by brick stacks and coped gables.

The exterior is two storeys with five bays. The main block has a battlemented parapet. Bay 1 features a hexagonal projection with a cornice moulding and possibly an earlier battlemented parapet, containing two single-light windows with three panes each. A similar projection, without windows, sits between bays 4 and 5. Bays 2, 4, and 5 contain composite east windows with a 4+12+4 pane arrangement, where the central unit is radially glazed, topped with false keystones. A projecting stone porch in Gothic style is located in bay 3, featuring a 4-centred moulded arch, pierced spandrels, and a crenellated parapet. The first floor has a 2-light casement to the left of bay 2, and three-light mullioned windows in recessed surrounds with square labels, all with wood casements and three panes; a pointed relieving arch is situated to the right of the lower bay 2. The west elevation, facing Saddler Street, has three gables with late 19th-century windows set in segmental-arched recesses, and a central glazed door recessed in a deep doorway. A 20th-century extension, Kendrick Court, adjoins the rear north side.

The interior was not inspected during the listing process.

Associated boundary walling runs from the north-west corner of the house, approximately 4 metres high with a battlemented top, for about 17 metres. A similar wall extends southwards from the south-west corner along Sadler Street for 22 metres, curving to connect with Brown's Gate, where it reduces in height and has a flat coping. A blocked arched doorway is located at the south end of the high wall section; it returns along Cathedral Green at approximately 2.5 metres high. Square ashlar gate piers are centrally positioned, incorporating a wrought-iron overthrow for a former lamp. The walling forms an important part of the street scene in both Sadler Street and Cathedral Green.
