GV II

3 separate houses, now subdivided in a very complex way. C16 core, early to mid C19 alterations, followed by extensive C20 remodelling of the interiors. Timber-framed, with render to No.36 and white brick fronts to Nos 37 and 38. Gabled plaintiled roofs to No.36, shallow pitched slate roofs with a paired bracketed eaves cornice to Nos 37 and 38. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and cellars. Entry to No.36 is in the return front of No.35 (qv), facing north. It has a single small-paned sash window above a door with 6 raised fielded panels, panelled architraves and cornice. The ground storey has been largely absorbed into No.37; on the upper storeys are 2 flats, mainly within the rear range, set at right-angles to the street. 4 window range to Nos 37 and 38: 16-pane sashes to the ground and 1st storeys, 8-pane to the 2nd storey, all in plain reveals with flat gauged arches and projecting stone sills. 2 recessed entrance doors, each with 6 raised fielded panels, the top 2 now glazed; segmental-headed fanlights with decorative glazing-bars above the doorways, which have Greek Doric columns in antis. A change in the colour of the brickwork indicates that the 2nd storey is an addition. INTERIOR: No.38 has a boarded cellar with a good chamfered main beam and wide flat joists. There is surviving evidence of the timber frame, including indications of a jettied front. A gabled rear range is linked to the front by a chimney-stack with one open fireplace. An internal rear doorway is in line with the front door and has a similar surround and fanlight. A large rear room, part of a range added in the early C19, has shallow arched recesses to each side of the fireplace and an ornate plaster frieze. It was formerly part of No.37.
