46, 47 48 AND 50, CORVE STREET

46, 47, 48, and 50 Corve Street are a group of houses in Ludlow, dating from the 16th century. They feature a timber-frame construction with plaster and render, and the ground floor is fronted with brick. The roofs are covered with plain tiles, showing a break in the roofline at Nos. 47 and 48, and a gable at No. 50. The buildings have a six-bay plan, are two stories tall with cellars, and have a six-window range with 20th-century metal casements.

The first floor is jettied, with box framing on the two left bays, close studding on the two central bays, and ornamental framing on the right bays, which includes cusped quarter braces. The ground floor has 20th-century metal casements and plank doors in plain cases. Nos. 46 and 47 have two bays, and No. 46 features a recessed entrance porch under the plate and some 20th-century repair work on the left corner. The left side has box framing above brick, with a 20th-century plank door to the left and a 20th-century metal casement above.

At the rear, there is an 18th-century wing with a brick storey band at the first floor and 20th-century casements on both floors. There are blocked openings on the second floor and a 20th-century extension on the left side. The rear of Nos. 47 and 48 shows exposed timber framing on the first floor above 20th-century brickwork, and a rubble stack with a wing wall to the west, likely remnants of another house. No. 50 has a shallow rubble wing at the rear with 18th-century brickwork above it. There is a passage to the rear at the far right (No. 50), which has a massive beam under the rubble wall supported by 19th-century piers, with a visible rubble plinth.

Inside, the buildings feature chamfered ceiling beams and some exposed timber framing.
