Description



MALDON

TL8407SE HIGH STREET
574-1/6/48 (North West side)
04/08/71 Nos.1, 3 AND 3A

GV II*

Three shops with 2 flats over. Mid C14, C15, and early C19.
Timber-framed and rendered with plain tile roof, gable at
north-east and half-hipped at south-west. L-plan.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys; 4-window range; gabled plain tile roofed
block to rear. Front has rendered timber parapet and 4 sash
windows on 1st floor, each with flush moulded surrounds,
margin glazing and plain frieze and cornice over; one of these
windows is narrow. Ground floor has 3 shop fronts, that to
No.1 is recessed with C20 small-paned bow window; No.3 has
flat-roofed canted bay with plain glass; No.3A has plain C20
shop front of 2 large panes, and there are 3 plain C20
entrance doors. 2 small stacks against SW wall, one truncated
and also one truncated stack against NE wall.
To rear is a 2-storey extension of rendered timber-framing
with linked plain tile gabled roof. This has C20 casement
windows, a late C16 stack through its rear roof and underbuilt
jetty on NE face.
INTERIOR: the main block consists of a mid C14 house with
3-bay, high-end cross-wing, 2-bay low-end cross-wing and
remnants of a narrow single-bay open hall. The high-end wing
has internal jetty in centre bay to form bench recess. The
front bay was partitioned off, presumably as contemporary
shop. Narrow low-end cross-wing had included cross-passage
with spered opening to hall. The 2 halves of spere beam remain
but one half now forms a partition. Frame has wide stud
spacing, arched wall bracing and splayed scarf joists with
under-squinted abutments. The crown-post roof survives, in
part over high-end cross-wing with jowled posts and
longitudinal curved braces and there are reused soot-blackened
hall rafters. Roof plate of hall survives, probably in situ,
in front wall with large concave chamfer, suggesting that
jettied 1st floors were removed rather than underbuilt.
The NE end bay is a later, probably C17 extension.
To the rear is a C20 flat-roofed extension and a 2-storey C15
extension formerly jettied on north-east side. This has a 1st
floor supported on massive Samson posts with knee braces to
bridging joists and spine beams. This floor was open-framed to
main range with former large arch braces to cambered tie
beams. At this level there was one large and one small
chamber.
