House. C17 core, with C18 alterations and early C19 division into 2. Timber-framed and rendered with a parapet and a moulded stucco cornice. Plaintiled roof, part C20. EXTERIOR: 2 storeys, attics and cellars. 5 window range: 12-pane sashes in flush cased frames. 3 flat headed dormers with 2-light small-paned casement windows. 2 matching doorways have fluted half-columns, friezes and segmental pediments. A long timber-framed, rendered and plain-tiled rear range to No.22: 2 storeys and attics. Various 12-pane sashes in cased frames; one gabled dormer. A double-gabled 2-storey timber-framed and rendered rear range to No.23. INTERIOR: cellars, part brick, part flint rubble are inter-related: that to No.22 in 2 sections, partly modernised, the rear with a large open fireplace with a timber lintel; No.23, early C19, brick-lined with timber partitions and ceiling joists, overlapping with No.22. No.22, restored 1994, has a front ground-storey room with mid-Georgian features: wood modillion cornice, panelled walls with sunk upper panels, fireplace with eared surround and egg-and-dart ornament, internal window shutters, good door with 6 fielded panels. The main ceiling-beam is boxed in. Entrance passage with a good C18 dog-leg stair to one side: turned balusters, open ornately-bracketed strings, wreathed handrail. An internal chimney-stack links the front and rear ranges. The upper rear room, now divided into 2, has the remains of a 4-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window on the north wall. Original roof with clasped purlins and cambered collars. The entry passage to No.23 runs at the back of a chimney-stack. On the upper storey, C18 2-panel doors with H-L hinges, probably reset. The principal rooms have simple plaster cornices. The gabled rear extension is in very late framing: straight primary braces and bisected studs. Cambered tie-beams can be seen on the floor of the top storey, where the front of the roof was raised in the C18 to accommodate the cornice.
