4, 6 And 7, Wine Street

Nos 4, 6 and 7, Wine Street comprise a group of 17th and 18th century houses that occupy five sides of a square, enclosing a sunken forecourt. The forecourt is accessed by steps from the road and is bounded by a low wall with plain iron railings and a gate.

The left-hand projection, numbered 4, has an ashlar-faced end elevation with a gable and slate roof. It features a semi-circular-headed doorway at road level, with a moulded surround, keystone, and imposts. A fixed-light window with 20 panes of glazing bars is located to the left of the door. A moulded string runs along the first floor, with a plain band above and cut stone brackets creating a frieze. A single sash window with glazing bars is set in the reveals on the first floor. The inside-facing elevation has a fixed-light window on the ground floor and a sash window above. A semi-circular-headed doorway is positioned at forecourt level.

The central elevation is constructed of rubble and has a stone-tiled roof with a dormer. Historically, it was divided vertically by a rusticated central pilaster in ashlar, of which the moulded base remains. The front retains a moulded string, plain frieze, and moulded cornice with an ashlar parapet. A sash window with glazing bars, a semi-circular-headed doorway with a keystone and imposts (leading to No. 4), and a square-headed doorway (leading to No. 6) are visible on the ground floor, positioned to the left and right of the former pilaster respectively, with a sash window above each.

The right-hand projection, numbered 7, has a gable facing the road, but no visible windows or door. The inside-facing elevation has a gable with an attic window. This window is a 2-light casement with a moulded stone mullion and a dripmould. There are two similar, 3-light windows on the first floor. Two modern sash windows are set in the reveals on the ground floor, alongside a plain square-headed doorway.

Nos 4, 6 and 7 form a group with Well Close Lodge.
