Description
Poundstretcher is a house and shop dating from the late 17th century to the 18th century. It is constructed of red brick, with the front whitewashed, and features a fragment of timber framing along with a granite rubble stone plinth in part. The roof is made of Welsh slate and is hipped to the left, with brick stacks at the rear and sides. The eaves are nogged in parts.
The building has two storeys, with two 8/8 sash windows on the upper floor. On the ground floor, from the left, there is an 8/8 sash window with a camber lintel, a wide mid-20th century shop front with a glazed door, and a part-barred alley door. On the first floor, part of a tie beam truss is visible, along with fragments of wall posts below where there was originally a gable. At the rear, there is a two-storey 19th-century wing. Inside, the building features chamfered ceiling beams and is said to have tie beam trusses in the roof. It was formerly known as the Plough Inn.
