The Old Curatage

The Old Curatage is a house located at the right end of a terrace on East Street, dating from the mid-18th century. It was enlarged to the north in the early 19th century and altered in the mid-20th century. The main house features rubble stone walls and a stone slate roof, with a stone stack raised in brick at the left end and a brick stack at the right end. It is two storeys high, with an arched recessed porch at the left end. The ground floor has four sash windows with vertical glazing bars, one of which is in a former doorway. The first floor includes one similar sash and three horizontally sliding sashes with glazing bars. The early 19th-century block to the north has rubble stone walls and a hipped stone slate roof. In front of this block is a 20th-century single-storey lean-to with a stone slate roof, featuring a Tudor-style doorway flanked by stone-mullioned windows. To the right of this is a 20th-century single-storey extension made of brick with a flat roof. The main block contains an 18th-century staircase.
