Description
Nos. 49 and 50, known as Brittanic Insurance and Brown & Mumford, are a pair of houses now used as offices. They date from the late 17th century and have undergone later alterations and additions, including a two-storey bay window on the left side. The buildings are constructed from regularly coursed ironstone rubble and feature a steeply pitched tile roof with brick ridge and end stacks. They stand two storeys plus an attic and have a four-window range with two entrances.
The entrance on the right is set within a stone porch that has stone-mullioned and transomed windows, while the entrance on the left features a six-panelled door with a fanlight and a pedimented stone doorcase. This doorway is flanked by a canted two-storey bay window on the left and a tripartite sash window on the right. The first floor includes four windows: a bay window, two sashes, and a stone-mullioned and transomed window, along with two gabled roof dormers and an ironstone parapet.
The interior of No. 49 includes a dog-leg stair, a panelled door with a cock's head hinge in the attic office, 18th-century ceiling bands, boxed beams, picture rails, and panelled doors. The interior of No. 50 also features a dog-leg stair and a 17th-century plaster ceiling, with a notable four-centred arched stone fireplace.
