Description

34 Town Street is a house that dates from the 17th century and early 18th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century and a wing added to the rear in 1893. The building is constructed from coursed squared sandstone, partly rendered, with red brick and sandstone dressings. The roof is plain tiled on the east side and covered with Welsh slates on the west side, featuring a central brick ridge stack.

The house has two storeys and attics, with a chamfered stone plinth. The east elevation presents an irregular arrangement of three gabled bays, along with two additional bays to the left. The off-centre doorway has a raised and fielded panelled door, flanked by windows, all set within a 17th-century moulded stone surround. To the right of the doorway is a tripartite glazing bar sash window in a moulded stone surround, along with a doorway featuring a half-glazed door in a moulded stone surround. To the left, there is a glazing bar sash window, and beyond it, an open carriage entrance through the building.

On the first floor, the right-hand section has a small central window in a moulded stone surround, with tripartite glazing bar sashes on either side in plain raised stone surrounds. Each gable above features three small windows. The left-hand two bays contain two early 18th-century glazing bar sashes with moulded architraves and a sill band, topped with a cornice and parapet. The rear elevation is irregular, showcasing a four-light recessed and chamfered mullion window, along with the remains of a similar two-light window below.

Inside, there is a 19th-century staircase and two upstairs rooms adorned with early 18th-century painted panelling and painted stone chimneypieces. The interior features heavily moulded beams and a single purlin roof with upward braces. The entrance hall has exposed beams and a 17th-century stone chimneypiece with moulded cornice and brackets.
