GV II*
Merchant's House, probably incorporating a shop. Mid C15 re-modelled in late C19. Timber-framed with brick and flint, colourwashed. Slate roof. 2 storeys. The ground floor has a late C19 double-fronted shop display window with a central glazed door. The display windows right and left of the door are formed of 3/1 horned sashes. Flanking them are chamfered brick pilasters with modified Corinthian capitals. Deeply jettied first floor over coving. One 6/6 sash to first floor. Gabled roof. Internal gable-end stack to north. A 4-panelled door immediately right of the shop windows led to a passageway. The rear has a 2-storeyed gabled cross wing with an internal gable-end stack to the east. The south side has windows with glazing bars, of indeterminate though probably C19 date. East of the cross wing is a further 2-storeyed gabled wing re-built 1949-50 following bomb damage. INTERIOR. The front shop has C19 and C20 details. The rear, domestic, room has a very heavy bridging beam with rolled edges of c1440. The lower surface is decorated with relief-carved bifurcating scrolls with floral pretensions. The spine beam has wave-moulded edges. The joists are roll and keel-moulded. This room was entered from the front shop via 2 doorways, only one now remaining, and this C19. In the early C17 a staircase was inserted in the north wall entered through a doorway with small-framed panels and strap hinges. This now leads to the cellar, and the upper staircase removed west in C19. The cellar has chamfered bridging beams and a brick and flint plinth course. The roof structure is of tie beams on arched braces dropping to wall posts, all renewed. Above the tie beams is boarding.
