Description
No 16, Low Fold is a pair of back-to-back houses built in the late 18th century. The structure is made of thin coursed hammer-dressed stone with dressed quoins and a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and an attic, featuring a two-cell, central lobby-entry plan, with No 16 occupying the rear range of rooms. The facade has three bays, with a central doorway framed by tie-stone jambs. On either side of the doorway are three-light stepped flat-faced mullioned windows, each with a taller central light and two-paned sashes. The gables are coped with kneelers and stacks.
At the rear, there is a 20th-century single-storey addition, but it retains two first-floor windows with plain stone surrounds. The right return wall features a doorway (No 16) with tie-stone jambs to the left of a four-light flat-faced mullioned window with recessed mullions, along with a three-light window above and a blocked window in the attic. Inside, the house has stop-chamfered spine beams, and one room contains a semicircular-arched cupboard with an impost block and keystone. There are also two queen-post trusses of heavy scantling. A deed from 1815 indicates that wool stapling, spinning, and stuff manufacturing occurred here.
