4, Fore Street

No. 4 Fore Street is a town house with a later shop, likely built in the 18th century and remodeled in the mid-19th century. The front features incised stucco on studwork, with anthemion keyblocks above the first-floor windows. It has moulded architraves and sill blocks on the second floor, a rag slate roof, and shared brick end stacks. The building has a single-depth plan with a rear wing on the right and stands three storeys tall with a three-window range. The late 19th-century windows are four-pane horned sashes. The shop front, added in the late 20th century, has a splayed doorway towards the right. Inside, visible from the staircase behind the chamber on the left is the head of a pointed rubble arch, with suggested rubble archstones that may be medieval and could originate from the friary complex, or it might be the original late 18th-century stair window opening. The interior has 20th-century floors and roof structure.
