Main range facing SE, c.1700, with 2 rear stacks and contemporary stair tower to rear of middle. Adjacent wing to rear left, c.1600, projecting to left of main range, with end stack. Wing to right of stair tower and adjacent to it, of uncertain date. Single-storey extension with slate roof to left of main range, c.1900. Complex series of C19 and C20 extensions to rear, not of architectural or historic interest. 2 storeys and attics, the upper storey being unusually high. Double shopfront of c.1900 with central half-glazed door and moulded fascia on 4 scrolled brackets. First floor, 5 original sashes of 9+9 lights with flat arches of gauged brick and much crown glass. Carved modillions. The left extension has 2 shop windows and a half- glazed door, 6 plaster pilasters with elaborately ornamented capitals, and a moulded fascia returning to the left. The left return of the left rear wing has on the first floor a window of 48 small panes mainly of handmade glass, and a moulded wooden eaves cornice. In the rear elevation of the stair tower is a transomed 2-light window with some leaded handmade glass, mainly modern sheet glass. In the rear elevation of the right rear wing is an C18/early C19 sash of 12 lights on the first floor, and another on the attic floor. The open well stair from the first floor to the attic is original, c.1700, with twist-turned balusters, square newels and moulded close strings. The room which occupies the whole first floor of the main range is fully lined with original bolection- moulded pine panelling; the 2 blocked fireplaces have bolection-moulded architraves; moulded dado rail and cornice. Above the upper storey of the left rear wing is a chamfered axial oak beam with lamb's tongue and notch stops; the remainder of the structure is concealed. Loose in the attic are 2 C18 wrought iron casements with original leaded glass, and a panel of leaded handmade glass made to fit the irregular shape of a window in the right return, meriting special care. A Mechanics' Institute was founded here by John Birkbeck in 1800 (J.S. Gardner (ed.), Coggeshall, Essex, 1951, 35). RCHM 15.
