8 And 10, West End

A row of three houses, dating to the early to mid-17th century, now used as three shops, including a Post Office. The houses are constructed of coursed limestone rubble, with gabled roofs covered in concrete tiles on the left and stone slates on the right. A ridge stack is built of rendered stone finished in brick, while brick stacks are situated at the ridge and right end of the building. The building follows a three-unit plan and has two storeys and an attic, with a five-window front. Three late 19th-century shop fronts are present, featuring fluted pilasters and scrolls beneath moulded cornices. The central shop front retains a half-glazed door and a three-pane sash window. A timber lintel covers a plank door leading to a passage. Above, timber lintels cover 20th and 19th-century casement windows. To the left is an 18th-century three-light wood-mullioned and transomed window with a turnbuckle for adjusting the opening light. Two gabled roof dormers are visible. A rear wing, largely dating from the early 18th century, is built of limestone rubble with a gabled stone slate roof. The interior of the main range includes chamfered spine beams, open fireplaces in the centre, and a partially inspected first floor. The rear wing features boxed beams and a butt-purlin roof. Group value derives from the building's contribution to the historic character of the West End.
