No. 42 Old Lane

No. 42 Old Lane is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone, with the rear rendered and pebble-dashed, and features a stone slate roof. The building has a three-room plan and includes a two-bay barn to the right. It stands two storeys high, with a single-storey outshut at the rear.

The front of the house has altered windows on the ground floor; the first two rooms feature bow windows, while the first floor has a four-light chamfered mullion window. The third room has a three-light wooden framed window on each floor, positioned to the left of the doorway, which has tie-stone jambs.

The rear, which serves as the entrance front, includes an inserted garage door to the left of five windows with chamfered surrounds, likely two-window, three-light windows. There is a gabled porch and a higher-level single-light window, possibly for stair lighting, along with another three-light window. The roof features one 17th-century corniced ashlar stack at the ridge, another rendered brick stack on the right gable, and a truncated stack set forward of the ridge.

On the right-hand side, there is a two-light chamfered mullioned window at the junction with the outshut. The left side has a blocked doorway in the outshut with tie-stone jambs.

The interior has not been inspected but is reported to contain a staircase with Jacobean flat-fretted balusters.
