GV II
Former shop and house, now shop and office premises. Mid to late C16 with extensions at the rear, part single-storey and of various dates; an early C19 front. Timber-framed and rendered front range; rear extensions in a variety of materials including flint and red brick. C20 plaintiles. EXTERIOR: 2 window range to front: 12-pane sashes in flush cased frames. On the ground storey, a small C19 shop window in a plain architrave with projecting moulded cornice has a single vertical bar dividing the glazing. 4-panel door, the top 2 panels glazed, and a late C20 garage door leading into the rear yard. INTERIOR: the front range has chamfered main cross-beams with curved step stops to the 2-bay ground storey room, which now has part of one bay taken up by the side entry. The rear wall has been removed and a small extension encloses a later chimney-stack. On the upper storey, 2 rooms have been made into one by removing the infill between the studs in the partition wall. The studding is widely spaced and the end truss against No.46 (qv) has deep jowls to the chamfered main posts and long arched braces. Roof inaccessible. The extensions at the rear overlap with part of No.46 and across the yard are further outbuildings which structurally form part of the rear of No.48 (qv), so that the property has complex boundaries. A derelict 2-bay range immediately behind No.48 has a C19 exterior in flint and brick with segmental-arched openings to the window and door and a C16 timber-framed interior with a plain heavy beam-and-joist ceiling. A loft above with renewed roof. On the inner wall, the remains of a large open fireplace.
