Description

54 and 56 Main Street is a pair of cottages that have been converted into a house. They date from the 15th, 16th, and 18th centuries, with an early 19th-century addition and early 20th-century alterations. The structure features a cruck frame and a square panel timber frame set on a stone plinth, with brick nogging and some painted brick. The roof is covered with early 20th-century red clay tiles and includes a brick side wall stack to the west, a large brick ridge stack, and another brick side wall stack on the central street elevation.

The building is single storey plus attics and consists of four bays, with the western bay being an early 19th-century addition. The south elevation has a long range extending at right angles to the east, with one bay of square panel timber framing at the north end. Adjacent to the west, there is a plank door with a small pane overlight in a single bay of timber framing. The western bays are constructed of red brick and feature a 20th-century door flanked to the west by a two-light casement window and to the east by a similar three-light window. Above, there are two gabled dormers with two-light casement windows.

On the street elevation, there is a brick bay to the west with a segment-headed glazing bar sash, while the timber-framed bays to the east are lower and have smaller panels than the other bays. A central brick lean-to includes a two-light small pane casement window on the west face and a 20th-century inserted window and panelled door to the west. To the east side of the lean-to, there is a plank door with a two-light small pane casement above in a gabled half dormer. Further east, there is a two-light horizontal sliding glazing bar sash. The east gable wall reveals an exposed cruck truss with a yoked ridge, the remains of two collars, and eaves sprockets on either side. This is the only surviving cruck truss in the building.
