15, Windy Street

No. 15 Windy Street is a late 17th-century house constructed of rubble, which is pebbledashed towards the street, and features a slate roof. The building has two storeys and includes a cellar that is accessed at ground level from the yard at the rear.

The south-west wall, which faces the street, consists of two bays, each containing sashed windows with plain reveals on both floors. Between these bays is a door with plain reveals. To the right, there is a sashed window with glazing bars set in a plain stone surround. Above this, on the first floor, is a three-light chamfered mullioned window. To the left of this window is a one-light hollow-chamfered window with small leaded panes, and further left under the eaves is a one-light plain chamfered window. Both of these windows align with the chimney stack.

The rear wall features chamfered mullioned windows, including a four-light and a three-light window at cellar level, a three-light and a two-light window on the ground floor, and a one-light and a two-light window on the first floor, with a two-light hollow chamfered window in between. Near the center of the elevation, at an intermediate level, are one-light stair windows; the one between the cellar and ground floor is hollow chamfered, while the one between the ground and first floor is double-chamfered, with the inner chamfer being hollow.

Inside, the south-eastern room contains a small 18th-century moulded shouldered stone fireplace with a bread oven behind it. In the middle room, there is a fireplace with a stone sphere and a low chamfered mantel beam, which likely originally supported a firehood. This fireplace features a moulded shouldered stone design typical of the 18th century, complete with a cornice mantel. The cellar includes a fireplace with chamfered jambs and a triangular head. Throughout the ground and first floors, there are doors dating from around 1700 that combine plank construction with moulded square panels.
