No. 1 (Gleethorpe) is wrongly shown on OS map as Cleethorpe. House, now divided into offices (no.1) and house (no. 3). Mid-C17, altered in early C19. Timber framed, plastered with facade of gault brick in Flemish bond, roofed with handmade red plain tiles. Comprises two parallel ranges aligned NW-SE (gable ends to street) with short central section containing stack at rear and entrance/stair hall at front, forming an almost rectangular plan.

Divided so that no. 1 comprises the left range, stair hall and part of stack, with entrance elevation to street, and no. 3 comprises the right part, with entrance elevation to south west. Extension to left of rear part of no.1, abutting on St. Osyth Cottage (item 9/249, q.v.), with vehicle entry to yard at rear. C19 lean-to extension to rear of no. 3. Inserted stacks in middle of left range and to left of right range. Two storeys and attics.

Elevation to London Road, ground floor, one C18 splayed bay of three sashes of twelve lights, one fixed light, and one C18 sash of twelve lights; first floor, two similar sashes and one C19 casement; one C19 casement in left gable. Six-panel door, in doorcase with pilasters and moulded pediment. South west elevation (no. 3) faced with gault brick, two-window range of C18 sashes of twelve lights with flat arches of gauged brick and crown glass, and blind aperture over central door. Six-panel door at front of simple porch of gault brick with lean-to roof. Chamfered axial and transverse beams with lamb's tongue stops at both storeys; plain joists of vertical section. Face-halved and bladed scarfs in wallplates. Unjowled posts. Primary straight bracing.

Much re-used timber from a medieval hall house; the roof of the left range is wholly of smoke-blackened rafters from a crownpost or collar-rafter roof, rebuilt in clasped purlin form. Butt-edged hardwood floorboards. Dogleg stair from ground to attic in four flights, with moulded handrail, stick balusters, and on top landing five splat balusters of urn profile. Some original wattle and daub infill in internal walls.

In entrance hall of no. 1, C18 corner cupboard with fluted jambs, semi-circular arch, recessed back with domical head, and profiled shelves; and below stair, early C18 half-glazed door with nine lights, ovolo-moulded glazed bars, six panes of bullseye glass, and single lower panel, altered at bottom. No. 3 has an inserted straight stair; and in the upper hearth of the main stack a Victorian cast iron grate.

Attic of no. 1 damaged by fire in November 1986. RCHM 9.
