30, West Street

30 West Street is a house dating from the 18th century and early 19th century. It features a timber frame that is rendered, with a pebbledashed front and a large gabled roof covered in clay plain tiles. The building has two storeys and attics.

The front exterior includes two flat-roofed dormers, each with two-light 19th-century casement windows that have a single horizontal glazing bar. There is a large eaves overhang with boxing that likely covers former coving and a gutter supported by long metal brackets. On the first floor, there are two large tripartite double-hung sash windows with small panes. The ground floor has four flush double-hung sash windows with small panes and a central moulded door surround that features a rectangular fanlight with margin glazing, consisting of alternating narrow and square glass panes. The entrance has a six raised-and-fielded panel door and is accessed by two stone steps.

At the rear, there are large extensions and a central three-storey stair tower that is now partially buried within a later two-storey block with a pitched roof. The stair tower originally had a hipped roof.

Inside, the house retains a very complete 18th-century interior. The southern ground-floor room is panelled with moulded surrounds and a dado rail. It features an eared architraved fire surround with a dentilled cornice mantel. A central ground-floor corridor has panelled partitions and an arch near the rear with panelled pilasters and an ogee keystone. Another front room has a simple plaster cornice and a reeded fire surround. There is one eaved fire surround on the first floor. The dogleg staircase, dating from the 18th century, has a moulded handrail and barley-sugar balusters, located in the apparently contemporary stair tower similar to that of No. 31.
