Description
No. 16 West Street is a single cottage that was formerly two attached cottages, dating from the 18th century. The cottage features rubble-stone walls with stone quoins and has had some alterations, including 20th-century changes to the windows on the right-hand end. Notable architectural details include late medieval stone fragments above the doorways: on the left, there is a fragment of cusped window tracery, and on the right, a fragment of a window-head with a super-mullion, trefoil-cusping, and a castellated boss, topped with a fleuron cornice. The roof is thatched, half-hipped on the left side and gabled on the right. There is a stone and brick stack at the ridge in the center and a brick stack at the right gable. The cottage is two storeys high and has three windows, which are three-light wooden casements with glazing bars and wooden lintels. The doorways include a plank door with a wooden frame and chamfered wooden lintels on the left, dating from the 19th century, and a front door at the right center, also a plank with a wooden lintel above.
