GV II
House, divided into 2 during the C19. Late C15 or early C16, with later extensions; mid-C19 front. Timber-framed and rendered; tiled roof with bands of black fishscale tiles and a ridge with ornamental crest tiles. No.33 is jettied along the front with a small projecting section of slate roof above. The original form was probably of a storied hall and a cross-wing. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics; 4 sash windows to the 1st storey and 3 to the ground storey, all in flush cased frames with a single vertical glazing bar to lights. 2 entrance doors: No.33 has a 4-panel door, semicircular fanlight with radiating glazing bars and a plain architrave with a bracketed flat roof above; No.34 has an early C20 half-glazed door with a rectangular fanlight. C19 extensions at the rear, now modernised. A dormer window in the rear slope of the roof. INTERIOR: No.33 is in 3 bays and was probably originally roofed at right-angles to the street. It has an exposed timber ceiling to the front ground-storey room with a blocked stair-trap, heavy unchamfered joists and a chamfered main beam. Most of the studding has been removed, including the partition wall which divided off the rear bay, but along the front wall are the housings for a window with moulded mullions. On the 1st storey the south wall of the rear bay has the remains of a long shutter slide and several diamond mullions. Attic above the rear only; roof not inspected. No.34 has a heavy main beam in the front ground floor room with a wide chamfer and unusually large stops. A very fine fitted cupboard in one corner, and a door made from square Jacobean panelling. A chimney-stack has been curiously inserted at the rear of the room, with a flue which is partly horizontal. On the upper storey, the rear wallplate indicates a roof-raising, but the roof timbers are all covered.
