Two houses, probably built as one in C18; a C16 wing to rear of No.17. 2

some C18 plasterwork with roughcast panels broadly outlined in smooth plaster,
mainly at upper storey. Concrete plaintiled roof (old clay plaintiles at the
rear). End and rear chimneys of red brick. At 1st storey, No.17 has small-
pane late C18 sashes, and at ground storey a splayed cantilevered bay with
small panes, of C20 in the C18 style. 4-panelled entrance door, the upper
panels glazed. A wide C20 recess in the facade gives access to C20 doorways
to Nos. 19 and 21. The rear wing of No.17 has good close-studding, a coupled-
rafter roof, lodged upper floor joists and evidence for diamond-mullioned
windows. A wide open fireplace has a truncated cambered lintel. Front range
rebuilt C18 with many reused components, no doubt from previous building.
No,19 now comprises a store at ground storey and a bedroom above; both are in
the occupancy of No.21 but structurally part of No.17.
