Description
This building is a two-and-a-half storey house located at the rear of No 15 High Street, known as She: The Ladies Shop. It features a rendered exterior and is primarily constructed of timber framing, with some brickwork from the 19th century. The roof is modern, covered with slate, and has plain bargeboards. The gable end facing Crown Square juts out at the upper floor and is supported by three curved brackets. It includes a segmentally-arched, 12-pane, unhorned sash window, likely from the second quarter of the 19th century. On the first floor, there is a 12-pane fixed casement window at the gable end and a large 8-pane sash window on the long side, both of which are modern replacements of presumed original 19th-century windows. The ground floor has 20th-century shop fronts on both sides, with the gable end shop front partly within a slated angular lean-to that extends to the left, formed by the adjacent building.
Inside, there is a late 19th-century winding stair with stick balusters leading to the first floor. The main beams are exposed and feature chamfered edges with run-out stops. The attic has two bays with an old boarded oak floor that has been patched, and it includes a pegged oak queen strut truss with a tiebeam that is cut in the centre. The original purlins and ridge are roughly chamfered. The rear gable is timber-framed and has old lime-hair plaster, while the front gable is made of 19th-century brick. There is also evidence of a former dormer in the attic, and a visible wall post on the left side indicates the building's timber-framed origins.
