Numbers 7 And 29 And 31 And Stone Perron With Iron Rail To Front

This is a house, originally built as a single dwelling in 1773 and subsequently divided into three separate residences. It was restored in the late 20th century. The building is constructed of coursed millstone grit with tooled ashlar dressings, and has a stone slate roof to the front and asbestos tiles to the rear. It features two stone gable stacks with applied watertabling.

The exterior is two storeys plus an attic and basement. The front has a symmetrical arrangement of three windows. The central doorway has a 20th-century door under a heavy lintel, set within an ashlar surround. Above the lintel is a diamond-shaped plaque inscribed ‘R/ J D/ 1773’. The doorway is flanked by single three-light mullion windows, with another three-light mullion window above, flanked by matching windows. All mullions are later replacements. The windows are 20th-century diamond-leaded pane casements. At basement level to the left, there are two blocked mullioned windows and a benchmark. The left return has a doorway with a plank door and painted ashlar surround, alongside a 20th-century casement window in a similar surround. Above this are matching windows, and a two-light mullion window in the attic. The right return has a blocked two-light mullioned window at attic level, and towards the rear a two-light casement window, which was originally larger. The rear elevation incorporates a 20th-century stable door, and an inserted 20th-century window to the right.

Internally, the ground floor of No. 31 was inspected and contains fireplaces with heavy, squared stone surrounds in both the parlor and the principal room. Some original timber beams remain, although many have been replaced.

A stone perron, or ramp, with an iron railing features at the front entrance. The iron railing has barley-sugar balusters and finials; the section furthest to the right is broken.
