House, now ground floor shop with offices above. C16, altered
C17, C19 and C20. Two bay timber-framed structure, originally

elevations encased in brick c1867 (bricks in quoins of left
hand ground floor windows bear initials 'H.W.R.', with date
below). Red brick, Flemish bond, with yellow brick quoins, and
rubbed flat arches over windows on first floor and attics.

moulded wood eaves cornice along New Road. C19 machine tiled
roof with 4 courses of plain tiles alternating with three
courses of fish-scale tiles, modern fretted ridge tiles.

with splayed parapet set across attic to left, which slices
the original gabled front. First and second floors one

flank elevation to New Road, all apparently set in earlier
openings.

together with elliptical arched door head, further studs
exposed in east wall of first floor front room, (now only
accessible from first floor of No.18 (qv). Attic (accessible

wall, also visible externally. This indicates that the roof
was raised at this time to create a useable space.
