Pair of houses, now single dwelling, C17 early C19 with
earlier origins. Timber-framed and rendered with plain tile
roofs.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 3-window range; 2-storey-with-attic range
at rear. No.30 has plain tile roof, hipped at south-east end.
The ashlared 1st floor has two 16-pane sash windows with
moulded surrounds, and is jettied over a ground floor of
painted brick with 2 similar sash windows and a C20 12-pane
sash. The front of No.32 is of rendered brick with a C20
tripartite sash on 1st floor; ground floor has canted bay
window with flat roof and small panes; flight of steps to
recessed door with semicircular-arched opening with keystone;
semicircular fanlight with 2 radiating glazing bars and door
of 6 moulded panels.
To the rear of No.32 is a timber-framed 2-storey building with
plain tiled gambrel roof parallel to frontage and stack and
projection on south-east flank.
INTERIOR: No.32 has front room with early C19 panelling below
dado. Straight-flight staircase with handrail on panelled
pilasters with lily motif at head and foot. Early C19 corner

head. Panelled and framed C17 door and small C17 door of
panelling.
SW part of No.30 a 2-bay parlour cross-wing with side-purlin
roof and straight wind bracing. This may represent an earlier
cross-wing, possibly C15, rebuilt in late C16 to incorporate
square-section floor joists and moulded-mullion window on 1st
floor of SW flank. The hall part of this structure has similar
joists and large chamfered spine beam with side-purlin roof of
A-frame type with heavy-section collars. Tie beam, on upper
floor, cambered and hollow-chamfered towards cross-wing,
probably reused from earlier hall.
