Formerly Listed as: Nos 5 and 7 Church Close. Small house. Early/mid 17th century, with some late 19th century modernisation. Mixed construction; stone rubble side walls and timber-framed front, partly exposed framing, partly plastered and lightly blocked out as ashlar; right end stone stack with rendered chimneyshaft and pots; slate roof. Plan: Small one-room plan, with secondary service extension to rear. Exterior: 3 storeys; single-window front. Late 19th century modernisation respecting style and much of the fabric of original 17th century front. Jettied at each floor level. Plastered ground-floor level has original oak doorframe to left, multiple moulded surround with large carved stops (now painted). Late 19th century canted bay to right, casements without glazing bars but alternate panes filled with a pattern of attractive painted panes of leaded glass. All jetties have plain plastered soffits and ends of joists hidden by front boards. Exposed 17th century framing on first floor, moulded rails and muntins around small panels and blocked 2-light ovolo-mullioned windows each side of central canted bay in same style as that on ground floor, except for 17th century brackets carved as bearded men with breasts and with contemporary chip-carved timber panels between the brackets. Second floor plastered with similar canted bay and plain shaped brackets. Jettied attic contains small casement with glazing bars under full-width gable with crossroof back to main gable-ended roof running parallel to the street. Interior: Shows largely the result of 19th and 20th century modernisation. All structural timbers are plastered over and the fireplaces are blocked by secondary grates. The only 17th century feature exposed is a short length of timber screen immediately inside the front doorway - late 17th century with full-height bolection-moulded panels.
