4, Poulton Square

This is a house located at 4 Poulton Square, built in the 17th century and remodeled in the mid-19th century, with some minor alterations in the 20th century. The exterior features pebble walling that is rendered and painted on the outside but left exposed on the inside, topped with a slate roof.

The house has two storeys and three bays, with a central doorway framed by a moulded stone surround. The entrance includes a six-panel door beneath a rectangular overlight and is sheltered by a shallow hood supported by timber brackets. On either side of the doorway are stacked two-over-two pane sash windows. The rear elevation has 20th-century joinery.

Inside, the ground floor rooms showcase exposed cobble walling, stop-chamfered spine beams, and some original joists. The kitchen features a two-light chamfered mullion window, and some internal partitions are believed to be made of wattle and daub. There are 19th-century four-panel doors with moulded architraves. The attic reveals an exposed roof structure, with roof trusses that have curved collars supporting three ties of purlins. There is a single attic window, now blocked, which has a 17th-century surround.

Overall, this small 17th-century house of cobblestone construction has been remodeled in the 19th century but retains much of its original 17th-century interior fabric, including the roof trusses.
