Formerly known as: The Plough Inn SOUTHGATE STREET. House, formerly an inn. C15, C16 and C17 with an early C19 facade. Timber-framed, rendered and lined; old plaintiles to main roofs; pantiles to a single-storey early C19 extension on the south. An internal chimney-stack links the front and rear ranges. Front range and rear wing. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys. The front has 2 windows to the upper storey, both 3-light casements with a single horizontal glazing-bar. On the ground storey 2 canted flat-roofed bays with small-paned sash windows; a 12-pane sash window in a flush cased frame to the single-storey addition. A slightly recessed central C20 door up steps in a moulded wood surround. INTERIOR: this building may have extended originally into the adjoining property. There is now no cellar. The rear range is the oldest part, a solar-and-service cross-wing to a former open hall. On the ground storey the partition wall of the service rooms has been removed; 2 blocked rebated doorways with 4-centred arched heads in the inner wall; after the removal of the hall one doorway was made into a window, also now blocked. Heavy close-studding and unchamfered joists. A blocked former diamond-mullioned window in the south wall on each storey and diamond mullion housings for paired windows in the upper gable. Crown-post roof with some evidence of alteration: square chamfered crown-post with thin braces to collar-purlin; solid supporting arched braces to the tie-beam; rafters covered. Chimney-stack between the 2 ranges in Tudor brick with 2 back-to-back hearths on the ground storey, both with timber lintels (one replaced). The south half of the front replaced the open hall with a 2-storey C16 jettied range: heavy spine beam with a very wide chamfer; rear joists set flat and unchamfered; front joists a C17 replacement, set on edge. The north half of the front is a later C17/early C18 addition with lighter timbering, primary bracing on the upper storey and bisected studs. The roof over the front range is a C18 replacement with a ridge-piece.
