59, Main Street

No. 59, Main Street is a house dating from the 17th century, significantly altered in the mid-20th century. The exterior is rendered and pebble-dashed, with a stone slate roof. The house originally had two main rooms, with a single-storey extension to the rear. It is two storeys high with a single-storey outshut at the rear. The front has two first-floor windows and a doorway at the left end. There are two large window bays with projecting sills and casement glazing above ground-floor 12-pane Yorkshire sash windows; a window is also positioned at the right end. The ground-floor windows retain a 17th-century cyma-moulded drip-course. An ashlar ridge stack has been partly rebuilt in brick. At the rear, a central doorway has a raised concrete surround and an oak-boarded door. Small windows are present to the right, and a Yorkshire sash window to the left, under a long cat-slide roof.

Inside the first room is a large chamfered spine beam with an ogee-stopped scarf-joint, potentially suggesting a former fire-hood. The second room features ogee stop-chamfered spine beams and floor joists, with a post at the junction with the outshut. A large chamfered tie beam is visible, although the truss itself is not.
