Description
Wayfaring Cottage, located at 47 West Street, and 49 West Street, is a pair of cottages that likely began as a single house. They date back to the 17th century and feature rubble stone walls and thatched roofs with stone end stacks. The buildings are one storey high with attics. Number 47 includes a stable door, two ground floor casements with glazing bars, and two dormers in the attic, also with similar casements. Inside, the main room on the ground floor has a large open fireplace with a timber lintel and some exposed ceiling beams. Number 49 also has a stable door, one ground floor casement with glazing bars, and one dormer in the attic with two horizontally sliding sashes featuring a central horizontal bar. The roof below this dormer is made of stone slate, and the roofs are partly constructed using jointed cruck techniques.
