House and shop. Circa late C17 origins, late C19/early C20
shop front. Plastered stone and cob, front elevation painted
Flemish bond brick; slate roof; chimney with brick shaft.
Plan: One room wide and 2 rooms deep. The front room was
heated by a stack on the right end wall (Dean Street), the
rear room by a rear lateral stack. The partition between the 2
rooms has been removed and the building has been extended to
the rear in a probably C18 or C19 addition.
Exterior: 2 storeys. Symmetrical one window front to East
Street,rebuilt in early C19; roof hipped at right end with
deep eaves on moulded brackets and a moulded string below the
brackets. First floor centre window with a painted guaged
brick flat arch, glazed with an early C19 20-pane sash. Late
C19 shop front with a projecting fascia and moulded cornice
returns round Dean Street with a pilaster and gabled bracket;
central glazed door with a low fielded panel. Shop windows to
left and right are each 2-pane with moulded mullions and
rounded outer corners. The elevation to Dean Street has a C20
half-glazed door into the rear room, with 2 C20 windows above
and one alongside the door to the right. The East Street
elevation includes a cast iron street sign with a pointing
hand; cast iron Dean Street sign fixed to the right return.
Interior: Both rooms have chamfered axial beams and exposed
joists of large scantling; evidence of former partition on one
cross beam.
One of the few remaining houses in the town with obvious
evidence of C17 or earlier origins. Important position.
