Description

46 and 47 Front Street is a house that has been divided into two separate homes. It dates from the mid-18th century and has undergone alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. The ground floor features incised render, while the first floor has rough render, with No. 46 being painted. The left side has rubble with brick patching and triangular block gable edges, along with painted ashlar dressings. The roof is covered with pantiles and has brick chimneys.

The building is two storeys high and has three windows. The central doors are paired and renewed, with plain overlights; No. 46 has a boarded overlight. To the left of No. 46, there is a wide 20th-century shop window, while No. 47 has a late 20th-century top-hung casement window with a flat stone lintel and a projecting stone sill. The first-floor windows include a central window above the door of No. 46, which sits on a sill band, flanked by two 18th-century sash windows with glazing bars on the left and a 20th-century casement window on the right. The steeply pitched roof features swept eaves, a small flat-topped dormer at the right end, a truncated chimney at the left end, and a corniced chimney on a plinth at the right end of the house. The roof also abuts the slope of an adjacent building.
