GV II

House, later divided into 2, formerly with shops. C16 and C17 with C19 front. Timber-framed, faced in old roughcast; plaintiled roof with a plain wooden eaves cornice. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attics and cellars. 3 windows to the 1st storey: sashes with a single vertical glazing-bar in heavily moulded flush frames with projecting sills. 2 flat-headed dormers with 2-light casement windows, small-paned to No.32, plate glass to No.33. 2 former early C19 shop fronts on the ground storey: No.32 has a door to one side with reeded architrave and a pair of linked sash windows with single vertical glazing-bars in a heavy surround with pilasters and a fascia cornice; No.33 has a central and a side doorway, each with reeded architraves, and 2 16-pane fixed shop windows. A C17 double gable at the rear and various later extensions. INTERIOR: No.32 has cellars below the front and rear: the front cellar has one side wall lined with rough stone blocks; stone and rubble along front; a very large ceiling-beam with lodged joists, set flat, some reused. The rear cellar has rubble flint and brick walling and a vaulted ceiling of Tudor brick. The 2-bay front range has main beams and wallplates exposed. Jowled main posts. Old oak floor-boards; boarded attics. An early C19 rear extension has a sash window and corner fireplace. The interior of No.33 falls into 2 halves with the western part of the same early C17 date as No.32. The eastern half is older; a very fine early C16 main beam exposed on the ground storey with multiple roll-moulding and leaf stops. This beam extends through the end wall of No.33 into No.34 (qv), and there is a curious overlap between the 2 properties which are thought to have formed a single building at one stage.
