Description
No. 24 Main Street is a house that likely had its top storey used as a working loft. It was built in the early 19th century, with a later 19th-century wing added to the left. The structure is made of red brick and features a Swithland slate roof, with rebuilt brick chimneys on either side. The house has three storeys and a cellar, with one and a half bays. It has dentil eaves and horizontal sliding sash windows, with the ground and first-floor windows having wooden glazing bars and cambered heads. The second-floor windows are shorter and positioned under the eaves, featuring only vertical glazing bars.
On the right side, there is a full bay with three-light windows, while the half bay on the left has two-light windows and a flush-panelled door topped with an ornamental rectangular fanlight, framed by a wooden architrave and a cambered head. To the left is the gable end of the later 19th-century brick wing, which has a Welsh slate roof. The ground floor of this wing features a three-light horizontal sash window, and the first floor has a two-light casement window. The left side of this wing has been completely rebuilt in the 20th century. Additionally, there are 19th and 20th-century extensions at the rear.
