17, West Street

No. 17, West Street is an early 17th-century house, with a 19th-century rear range, that has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The house is timber-framed, with a colourwashed pebbledashed first floor and a colourwashed brick ground floor, constructed in English bond. The rear range is built of yellow stock brick in Flemish bond. The front has an old tiled roof, and the rear range has a hipped Welsh slated roof.

The front of the house is two storeys high, with attics and a basement. The first floor has two flush-set, multi-pane casement windows with a dripmoulding. The ground floor has a 3-light casement window and a central multi-panel door within a late 17th-century moulded architrave. A segmental relieving arch is visible above a blocked basement window. A carriageway to the left has twin battened doors with trellis-infilled ventilation panels above. The roof features two 20th-century dormers with hipped tiled roofs.

At the rear, the brickwork is colourwashed, and there is weatherboarding with a studded door with panels and segmental head, dated 1654. A low, two-storey rear range of yellow brick features a hipped Welsh slated roof and 9-pane sash windows on the first floor, although fenestration has been altered elsewhere. This range is shared with the adjacent No.15. The interior has not been inspected.
