Description
Number 6 and its attached outbuildings is an early 17th-century house, with 18th-century ancillary buildings, and was refronted around 1861. A mid-20th century shop front was later added. The house is constructed of limestone ashlar, with limestone rubble outbuildings, and has a stone slate roof. It has ashlar gable stacks. The house is laid out with a single depth, a central rear stair tower, and a 19th-century kitchen range to the west.
The main front is three storeys, attic and cellar, with a three-window range. It is symmetrical, with a plinth, cornice, gableted kneelers, roll-top gable coping, and ashlar gable stacks. A late 19th-century central shop front is present, along with horned 2/2-pane sash windows and three double casement dormers with cambered heads. The gable ends show the line of an earlier roof. The rear elevation is irregular, with paired gables, the left-hand one timber-framed and rendered. A lower, central gabled stair turret is present, along with a two-storey outshut to the left. A former entrance has a wide timber lintel, now bricked up, beneath a fine first-floor oak-framed six-light mullion and transom window with stay bars, fittings, and leaded metal casements. The stair turret has 3/3-pane windows to the upper floors and small attic gable lights. A brick two-storey kitchen range adjoins the main house.
The interior features an exceptionally elaborate and fine Jacobean open-well newel-framed stair, with an uncut string, square, channelled newels with pointed pendants and moulded caps, a grip-moulded rail, and moulded splat balusters with primitive volutes at the top and bottom, skewed parallel to the rail. It also contains an original collar truss roof with a shallower pitch in the front and a plastered central bay, along with chamfered beams and two-panel doors.
Attached ancillary buildings extend to the east, including gabled former stables fronting the street, with a hoist door and 20th-century garage doors in the end gable. There is an overhanging rendered gable facing the street and a possible former brewhouse to the back with a brick gable stack.
