159, Main Street

No. 159 on Main Street is a house dating from the mid to late 18th century, with some alterations from the 19th century. It features a rainwater head dated 1832. The building is constructed from local gault brick and coursed limestone rubble, with limestone dressings. The roofs are covered with Collyweston stone slates and Welsh slates.

The house is two storeys high with attics, and it has a one-storey and attic range at the rear, forming an L-shape. It has end stacks and tumbled brick parapet gables supported by moulded brick corbels, along with a moulded wooden eaves cornice. The central doorway has a stone step, a four-panelled 20th-century door, and a Tuscan pedimented wooden doorcase. There are two bay windows on either side of the door, each with dentil enrichment on the cornices. On the first floor, there are two tripartite hung sash windows set in flat brick arches, and a round-headed window above the door.

Inside, the house retains original features, including an open string staircase with four flights, a moulded handrail, and turned balusters. The ground floor rooms have half panelling, while the south-west first-floor room has complete panelling and a shouldered chimney piece. There are also six-panelled doors and moulded wooden architraves, with shuttered windows on the first floor. The property is enclosed by cast iron garden boundary railings, matching gates, and piers.
