70, North Street

No. 70 on North Street is an 18th-century house constructed from colourwashed limestone rubble, topped with a gabled 20th-century tile roof. It features a gable end stack on the left that is finished in brick. The house has a two-unit plan, is one storey high with an attic, and has a two-window range. There is a central 20th-century door with timber lintels, a 20th-century window to the right, and a late 18th or early 19th-century three-light mullioned window with 20th-century panes to the left. A blocked first-floor door on the left side wall may have provided access to a granary in the attic. A similar mullioned window is located at the rear, and a window to the rear right has mortices for diamond mullions in the soffit of the lintel. There is a 20th-century extension to the rear right. Inside, the house features a stop-chamfered beam and a chamfered bressumer over an open fireplace with a bread oven, as well as a ribbed door leading to adjoining winder stairs. A cased beam is present in the room to the right, and there is an early 18th-century two-panelled door on the first floor. A central timber-framed partition rises to a closed truss of heavy scantling, which includes a stop-chamfered door frame.
