Description

This is a house dating from the 17th and early 18th centuries, with alterations and a refronting in the early 18th century, evidenced by a date stone of 1752. The exterior is roughcast with brick gable stacks and a stone slate roof. It has a double-depth plan with cellar and attic levels.

The symmetrical front of the house has two bays with a door surround featuring a bracketed pediment and a 20th-century door. It contains 8/8-pane sash windows to the ground floor and smaller sashes above, along with a small, flat-headed dormer window. A small cellar hatch is set into the plinth. The rear elevation includes a gable.

Inside, the cellar is partly cut into the bedrock. The roof is a double-pile structure, with alterations to the front, while the rear roof retains 4 bays with a 17th-century ridge. A room towards the rear right of the house is earlier, characterized by thick walls, and the front right-hand room features an early 19th-century elliptical-arched recess.

Attached to the front of the property are spear-headed iron railings and a gate, enclosing a curved front area. Originally a single-room house, it was extended to the front and left, possibly at the same time as the neighbouring property at number 100, and shares a common roof with it.
