7/146 Nell Gwynne's 28.11.50 House, Gwynne Cottage & No.4

II

Row of 3 houses. Late C17 or early C18, altered mid C19. 2 storeys and attics, 5 windows. Timber-framed and rendered; moulded wooden band at 1st floor. Pantiled roof with eaves soffit having fretted pendant frieze; axial chimneys of red brick. Mid C19 sash windows with architraves and wooden hood- moulds; some retaining their hinged louvred shutters. An early C18 sash window at the south-west gable has thick glazing bars and unusually small panes. Entrance doors with 6 panels, the upper pair glazed; architraves and hood-moulds. A mid-C19 extension to the left of Nell 1 Gwynne's house has a 3-light segmental bay window at 1st floor with small-pane sashes. A fine late C17 or early C18 staircase in Gwynne Cottage with heavy framing, moulded handrails and turned balusters of urn form. The building was one house until division and extension took place in C19, and is believed to have been built adjacent to the Palace of King Charles II, for the use of Nell Gwynne when she accompanied the King to the Newmarket Races in the late C17.
