Description
Craig House is a house and shop, with a probable core dating back to the 16th century and a mid-18th century facade. The building’s structure is timber-framed, with a colour-washed brick facade and a flat parapet, now topped with a modern concrete pantiled roof. It has two storeys and a five-window front. The windows are sash windows with glazing bars in flush frames, set within flat brick arches. The central doorway has a six-panel door with raised and fielded panels; the upper two panels are glazed, and the door is finished with fluted pilasters, an enriched frieze, and a cornice. To the right-hand side is a fine early 19th-century shopfront featuring two slightly bowed windows with 16 panels each. This shopfront includes sunk pilasters (originally with decorative infilling), a frieze, and a dentil cornice. An inset doorway has a glazed door and a rectangular fanlight with diagonal glazing bars. The original internal mechanical window blind system survives within the shopfront. A timber-framed and plastered wing to the rear was restored in the early 1980s.
