Description
Numbers 47 and 49 are a pair of houses, now functioning as two houses and a shop, along with attached walls and railings. They were built around 1800, with some alterations made around 1900 for the shop. The buildings are constructed from coursed squared sandstone, featuring an ashlar plinth, quoins, and dressings. The roof is made of thin stone slates, with stone gable copings and stone chimneys.
The exterior consists of two storeys and a basement, with a five-window range. The left house has three bays and features a three-light square bay window from around 1900 on the left, complete with mullions and transoms. There are paired doors leading to the house and shop, along with a wide shop window in the shop front, which has narrow end pilasters supporting long curved brackets and a high sloping fascia. The right house has a recessed six-panel door with an overlight in a plain stone surround topped by a shallow hood. To the right, there is a two-storey canted bay that serves the basement and ground floor, with a basement light visible only at the front, as the sides are obscured by a paved forecourt. The ground-floor bay is wooden. All windows are sash windows with glazing bars, and those on the first floor are set in plain stone surrounds. There is a first-floor band on No.47 at the right side, and a thistle-shaped lead rainwater head is located between the third and fourth windows. The roof features end gable coping, a stone ridge, and banded stone chimneys at both ends and along the ridge.
The interior has not been inspected. In front of the houses, low forecourt walls have sloped ashlar coping and return to the ends of the shop and the door of No.47. Square piers with low pyramidal coping are present at the corners. The railings for No.47 only are spike-headed and ramp up along the walls to the house door.
