26, Main Street

The building at 26 Main Street is a house and workshop, with elements dating to the late 17th century and the early 19th century. The west gable displays late 17th-century detailing, while the street elevation has early 19th-century windows. It is constructed from rubble to the west gable, with a rendered facade, and has a Welsh blue-slate roof. The building is of an irregular plan. It has two storeys and four first-floor windows, one positioned above a passage. A plinth runs along the base. The street elevation features a doorway with a multi-pane sash window above, followed by a four-pane sash window within a flush wood architrave, another doorway with an overlight, and a 19th-century shop front with four arched windows and a double door to the left, incorporating corner pilasters, an entablature, and a cornice. A sash window sits above the shop front. Coped gables top the building. There's a brick ridge stack and an external ashlar stack, partially hidden by a linking bay to the adjacent property at No. 22. The ground floor of the left-hand side is open, leading to a first-floor room which has a tunnel under it, connecting to a rear courtyard. The left-hand return contains a truncated stack, corbelled from the first floor, to the left of a blocked two-light double-chamfered mullioned window. Inside, the left-hand cell is open to the roof and was reportedly a chapel used for non-conformist worship, lit by a large sash window above the entrance door.
