39, Front Street

No. 39 on Front Street is a house and shop dating from the mid to late 18th century, with a shop added around 1900. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, featuring painted tooled ashlar dressings. It has a roof made of Lakeland slates topped with red ridge tiles, and there are ashlar chimneys with a brick cornice on the right side. The structure stands three storeys high and has three bays. The shop area slightly projects and includes a recessed central door, with carved spandrels on slender window pilasters and a sloping fascia with a cornice. The windows above have been renewed with late 19th-century sashes, with the second-floor windows being smaller and set in plain stone surrounds.
