Description
No. 53 on The Green is a house and wing that have been converted into two separate dwellings. The original house dates from the early 18th century, while a 19th-century addition has been made. The building is constructed from roughly-coursed and squared sandstone with ashlar dressings, a plinth, and quoins. It features a Welsh slate roof with stone gable copings, and the brick addition also has ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof, with a stone and brick chimney.
The structure is two storeys high with five windows, while the addition has one high storey and one window. The central entrance features a Gothic-style door with a margined overlight, likely from the early 19th century, set in a stone surround with a pulvinated frieze and cornice. Flanking the door are tripartite sash windows with glazing bars, wedge stone lintels, and projecting stone sills, which are in sections marked by long butt joins that suggest earlier alterations. Above, there are 12-pane sashes with similar lintels and sills.
The steeply-pitched roof has high gable copings that rest on curved kneelers, with end chimneys. The right addition includes a late 19th-century sash window with a flat stone lintel and projecting stone sill, situated under a catslide roof with a right end chimney.
Inside the main house, the left ground-floor room is panelled and features a dado rail and a round-headed cupboard with a keyed architrave. There is a dogleg stair with turned balusters, where the lower balustrade reduces to meet the upper. The roof has collared trusses.
