GV II

Small house in row, with cafe; possibly the solar wing to adjoining house. Late C16 refronting of C15 structure. Timber-framed with plaster panels, tile roof. Right-angle plan with gable facing street. 2 storeys, attic, and basement, 2-windowed. A small 2-light in the gable above 2-light casements with transom and horizontal bar at first floor, and fine late C18 or early C19 multi-pane canted bow shop fronts flanking a part-glazed door, under simple fascia. A basement grille and access under the right-hand window. The ornamental-panelled and studded frontage has herringbone framing at first floor, with small-panel framing to the gable, which runs back to the main transverse roof, continuous with that to No.16 (qv) adjoining. The ground floor has a pair of heavy posts with a jetty bracket near the front, with a further pair of posts and heavy transverse beam to a short bay within. To rear, the C15 structure has later alterations including a late C16 right-angled bay. INTERIOR includes C15 three-bay roof with clasped purlins and windbracing to first floor of chamber originally open to roof; floor levels with beams dating from late C16 remodelling. The C15 structure probably functioned as a solar wing to a large late medieval hall house, probably No.16 (qv). The shop front is a notable and remarkably complete example of its date.
