GV II
House. C16, divided into 2 houses in the early C19 with shops along the frontage. Timber-framed; faced in random flint on the upper storey with render to the ground storey; steeply pitched plaintiled roof. Probably a basic L-plan. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys and attics; two 12-pane sash windows to the upper storey in flush cased frames with flat gauged arches flank a blocked centre window. 3 flat lead-roofed dormers have 2-light small-paned casement windows. On the ground storey, No.51 has a C20 door and shop window; No.52 has an early C19 semicircular-headed doorway with a half-glazed door and a 6-pane shop window with vertical glazing bars in a surround with pilasters and cornice. The rear of No.52 extends into a rendered wing; one long 20-pane sash window in a flush cased frame on its north side. INTERIOR: No.51 is said to have a modernised interior. No.52 is timber-framed throughout with the frame extending into the rear wing. In 3 bays, but formerly with at least one more bay: a fully chamfered and stopped beam is exposed in the rear outer wall. On the upper storey, wallplates and main posts visible. The roof was raised to create a full attic storey, probably in the C18, prior to dividing up and refronting the building. The original open form of the wing suggests that it was designed as a working and storage area initially.
