GV II
House. C16, divided into 2 houses in the early C19 with shops
along the frontage. Timber-framed; faced in random flint on
the upper storey with render to the ground storey; steeply
pitched plaintiled roof. Probably a basic L-plan.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics; two 12-pane sash windows to
the upper storey in flush cased frames with flat gauged arches
flank a blocked centre window. 3 flat lead-roofed dormers have
2-light small-paned casement windows.
On the ground storey, No.51 has a C20 door and shop window;
No.52 has an early C19 semicircular-headed doorway with a
half-glazed door and a 6-pane shop window with vertical
glazing bars in a surround with pilasters and cornice. The
rear of No.52 extends into a rendered wing; one long 20-pane
sash window in a flush cased frame on its north side.
INTERIOR: No.51 is said to have a modernised interior. No.52
is timber-framed throughout with the frame extending into the
rear wing. In 3 bays, but formerly with at least one more bay:
a fully chamfered and stopped beam is exposed in the rear
outer wall. On the upper storey, wallplates and main posts
visible.
The roof was raised to create a full attic storey, probably in
the C18, prior to dividing up and refronting the building. The
original open form of the wing suggests that it was designed
as a working and storage area initially.
