(487) House, No. 33 (Plate 125; Fig. 148), of three storeys and attics, consits of a timber-framed part on the street frontage, built in the early 17th century, and a brick-bulit block at the rear, contemporary with No. 31 (483), on the other side of Coffe Yard, which has alomost identical interior fittings of the late 17th century.

The plastered front elevation has three jetties and late 19th-century detailing, including much carved woodwork and a spurios date 1489. It was illustrated in 1813 by Cave (Plate II), when it was covered with exuberant 17th-century pargetting. The brick-built rear block is partly stuccoed and has mostly modern windows. Inside, the ground-floor shop is modernised but has exposed beams and joists. The first floor front room is lined with bolection-moulded panelling. The late 17th-century staircase, around a square well, has pulvinated close strings, bulbous balusters, and square newels with pendants and ball-finials; on the landings are two-panel doors with bolection-moulded architraves.
