Shop premises, formerly part of a house. Early C17 with C19
alterations. Timber-framed and roughcast rendered; concrete
plaintiles; jettied along front. This is the surviving bay of
a 3-cell house, with a small extension on the west.
EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. One sash window to the upper storey with
a single vertical glazing bar in a flush cased frame. A small
C19 shop front with glazing-bars to the ground storey. One
flat-headed dormer in the roof. At the east end, a boarded and
slatted door to a passageway leading to the rear. Various C19
extensions at the back.
INTERIOR: main ceiling beams with chamfer and lamb's tongue
stops. Remains of a diamond mullioned window in the rear wall
on the 1st storey. The end wall on the east has been rebuilt
in brick, and the original end wall on the west has been
removed on both storeys to allow for a small extension. No
evidence for original heating, although this appears to have
been the parlour end of the house. Roof inaccessible.
