shop with living accommodation. Early to mid C16 with C17 and
C20 alterations. Timber-framed; rendered in panels on the
upper storey; C20 plaintiles. Frame in 3 long bays with an
internal chimney-stack between the 1st and 2nd bays from the
east. A plain rebuilt rectangular red brick shaft to the
chimney.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, cellar and attics: 3 window range:
3-light Edwardian casements with vertical glazing-bars above a
transom. 3 gabled C17 dormers with fluted bargeboards have
2-light casement windows with square leaded panes and original
wrought-iron fittings. 3 Edwardian shop fronts with recessed
doors: panelled stall risers to part; continuous fascia with
blind box. 2 late C19 rear extensions, rendered.
INTERIOR: a small modernised cellar below the west bay. On the
ground storey, a heavy chamfered main beam in the eastern bay
and a cambered fireplace lintel. On the 1st storey, the 2-bay
room to the west of the stack has chamfered main beams with
later trimmers inserted to support the attic floor. The jowled
posts of the open truss carry a cambered tie-beam with small
solid braces which support a crown-post, now within the attic.
The crown-post is tall, plain and of rectangular section,
braced 2 ways to the collar-purlin only. All rafters
concealed: there has been some C20 repair to the roof.
The eastern bay and chimney-stack may be of slightly later
date with the collar-purlin set at a lower level than in the
rest of the roof. The attic storey was inserted in the later
C17 and the floors have their original wide oak boarding.
