House now shop. Early C16 and late C16. Timber-framed and rendered, peg-tiled roof. Rectangular plan with C19 brick rear addition not of special interest and not a part of this listing. 2 storey. Front, N elevation, gabled to street, said to have been totally refronted a few years ago. Ground floor inset, possibly reflecting a former jetty. C20 shop window and doorway both with slightly bowed glazing, with glazing bars, door 3x3 panes and 2 lower panels, window 6x4 panes. First floor large C20 2-light window with top opening casements. Rear, S elevation adjacent to South Street obscured by C19 addition. W elevation, to South Street timber-framed and weatherboarded, 2 storey, first floor C19 window of 3 casements with house frame stud as divider. INTERIOR framing of 2 periods. To front, early C16, of 2 bays with first floor chamfered jowled post of central truss with up-sloping mortice for arched brace to tie-beam. Ground-floor rear wall has a straight door head and wattle and daub still in situ. Late C16 framing of lower grade, in SW angle regular lines of large peg holes in the wall studs for a weavers' warping frame, probably C17. This block may constitute an added cross-wing to the earlier hall house to E (Nos 60 & 62 (qv)) or, more likely, a shop unit constructed when a similarly proportioned alteration was made to No.62, being fashioned out of the earlier hall block. Nos 62 & 64 occupy the length of the suggested original medieval hall. RCHM Central and SW Essex in which the block is interpreted as a second cross-wing to the original hall. Nos 60, 62 & 64 form a group. (Central and SW Essex : Monument 8: 36).
