Description

No. 34 is a house located on Main Street, dating from the mid-17th century and extended in the 20th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a concrete plain-tile roof with stone and brick stacks. The building has an L-shaped plan and consists of two storeys plus an attic.

The entrance front shows a lower wing that projects from the left, featuring aligned stone-mullioned windows with four, three, and two lights in the gable wall, all with labels. The main range is partially obscured at the ground floor by 20th-century extensions but retains mullioned windows at the first floor. The steep-pitched roof has a gable stack to the right and a larger stack at the junction of the two ranges.

On the left end wall of the main range, which faces the road, there is a three-light mullioned window at the first floor and a two-light window in the gable. The rear of the house has two two-light windows at the first floor and three, two, and three-light mullioned windows below, all with labels. Additionally, there are two gabled roof dormers facing the rear. The interior has not been inspected.
