GV II*

Merchant's House, probably incorporating a shop. Mid C15
re-modelled in late C19. Timber-framed with brick and flint,
colourwashed. Slate roof.
2 storeys. The ground floor has a late C19 double-fronted shop
display window with a central glazed door. The display windows
right and left of the door are formed of 3/1 horned sashes.
Flanking them are chamfered brick pilasters with modified
Corinthian capitals. Deeply jettied first floor over coving.
One 6/6 sash to first floor. Gabled roof. Internal gable-end
stack to north. A 4-panelled door immediately right of the
shop windows led to a passageway. The rear has a 2-storeyed
gabled cross wing with an internal gable-end stack to the
east. The south side has windows with glazing bars, of
indeterminate though probably C19 date. East of the cross wing
is a further 2-storeyed gabled wing re-built 1949-50 following
bomb damage.
INTERIOR. The front shop has C19 and C20 details. The rear,
domestic, room has a very heavy bridging beam with rolled
edges of c1440. The lower surface is decorated with
relief-carved bifurcating scrolls with floral pretensions. The
spine beam has wave-moulded edges. The joists are roll and
keel-moulded. This room was entered from the front shop via 2
doorways, only one now remaining, and this C19. In the early
C17 a staircase was inserted in the north wall entered through
a doorway with small-framed panels and strap hinges. This now
leads to the cellar, and the upper staircase removed west in
C19. The cellar has chamfered bridging beams and a brick and
flint plinth course. The roof structure is of tie beams on
arched braces dropping to wall posts, all renewed. Above the
tie beams is boarding.
