House, now shop. C17, refronted mid C20. Stretcher-bond brick
with pantile roof. C17 single-depth plan, parallel to street,
with rear left wing making L-plan. 2 storeys; one-window
range. One C20 tripartite sash window to first floor, C20 shop
to ground floor. INTERIOR: a heavy unsupported chamfered oak
beam with central mortice spans the building inside the
set-back C20 door; to the right is a deeply chamfered recess,
possibly a former doorhead with mortice to a former central
support. Down the centre, approx 2.5m from the door, a painted
oak-panelled screen with moulded cornice and square panels
alternating with horizontal panels below extends for approx 5m
backwards to a late C17 doorcase. This has panelled plinths to
short fluted pilasters with panelled tops; between them a
moulded semicircular arch with a keystone and panelled
spandrels has a cornice which steps forward above the keystone
and pilasters. Above the forward end of this screen, a shallow
stone corbel supports a stone lintel. Roof space not inspected
but likely to be of interest.
