Description
TABB HOUSE is a house with origins dating to around the 18th century, which was extended in the mid-19th century. It is constructed of stone rubble, painted on the front elevation, with a slate-hung rear elevation. The roof is slate with gable ends.
The original layout likely featured a double-depth arrangement with two main rooms at the front, a central passage, and two narrower service rooms at the back. In the mid-19th century, the house was expanded with a rear wing that included two additional principal rooms, while service rooms were placed in the cellar. At this time, a shop was also added to the front of the house.
The building is two storeys high with an attic and has a regular three-window front, featuring a slate string course above the first-floor openings. There is a 19th-century shop to the left, with a 19th-century door to the right of centre and a four-pane sash window to the right. The first floor has three 19th-century four-pane sash windows, also with a slate string course above. Inside, the house retains complete late 18th-century and mid-19th-century joinery and carpentry details.
