Description
This is a late 19th-century house and former shop, incorporating features from the 17th century. A datestone on the left side, inscribed "X RM AN:DO 1667", indicates its earlier origins. The building is constructed of rubble stone with quoins of ashlar stone. It has a slate roof, with some sections of asbestos slate, and projecting rafters. Brick stacks are visible at the left-hand gable, along the main ridge, and at the right-hand gable.
The building is two storeys high. The front has two windows on the ground floor, originally comprising a shop front, and four windows above. The windows on the upper floor have four-light and two-light stone mullions with decorative labels, iron casements, and fixed glass lights. The first floor windows have wooden casements and horizontal glazing-bars with wooden sills. Small gables are present over bays two and four. A porch on the right side, built of rubble stone with ashlar dressings, has a slate roof with stone gable copings, an obelisk finial, a four-centred entrance arch with hollow-chamfered jambs, and a stopped arch. The doorway has a plank-and-muntin door, studded and of 20th-century date.
The lower end of the left side originally contained a shop front, featuring two square bays on each side of a panelled and glazed door, topped with a hipped slate roof.
