Description
17 Fore Street is a building with a front dating from the 18th century or early 19th century, likely added to an earlier timber-framed and plastered structure. It stands three storeys tall and features a two-window range with double-hung sash windows that have vertical glazing bars, all set in flush cased frames. The ground floor has been modified to include a small shop and a cart entrance. The roof is covered with 20th-century interlocking tiles.
