Description

Number 22, with a former cottage and stable adjoining to the east, dates back to 1758, as indicated on the front door lintel. This large house, previously known as the Ship Inn, stands on the street boundary. It is constructed of brick with a plinth, and the front elevation is rendered and incised to simulate ashlar. The rear features exposed stone quoins. The building has a plain tiled roof with a stone ridge and coped gable ends that include moulded kneelers, along with brick end stacks. It is three storeys tall and has a symmetrical two-window facade, featuring two-light casements with glazing bars and a square section stone mullion between the lights. The central doorway has a plain stone surround and a small flat hood, with two steps leading to the street and a 19th-century half-glazed door with margin lights.

The rear elevation showcases a full-height 18th-century stair window above the doorway, which has a square section stone surround and leaded lights. There is a small brick cross wing set into the hillside, which includes a cellar off-shut and a small chamber above.

Inside, there are several notable features related to its history as an inn, including a fixed settle beside the hearth in the east ground floor room, which serves as a baffle, and a serving hatch to the same room. The first floor has panelled window seats, and throughout the building are six-panelled doors. The staircase is plain and has an identical plan on all floors.

Adjoining to the east is a lower two-storey building that was formerly a cottage and stable, with an over-loft that formed part of the inn. It is built of coursed grit stone rubble, with the front elevation rendered like the house. The roof is made of large graduated Welsh slate, featuring plain gables and a central brick stack. This building has an 18th-century square section two-light mullioned window on both the ground and first floors. At the western end, there is a plain plank door, and at the eastern end, planked double doors lead to the stable entrance, with a modern window above. To the north, there is a yard with limestone setts.

Some fragmentary remains of a possible heavy doorway in the rear elevation suggest that Number 22 may have been an 18th-century rebuilding of an earlier house.
