17, Fore Street

17 Fore Street is a house that is part of a long row, built around 1832 to 1835. The structure is made of cob with a stone plinth and is plastered, topped with a synthetic slate gabled-end roof. It has end stacks, with the right-hand stack set back behind the roof ridge. The house has three storeys and features a front with two window ranges, overhanging eaves, and a gutter box. The strip quoins and raised surrounds around the windows add to its architectural detail.

The front was likely designed to be symmetrical; however, the right-hand ground-floor window has been replaced with a larger 20th-century casement window with two lights, differing from its counterpart. The remaining windows have unhorned sashes, with eight panes per sash on the ground and first floors, while the second-floor windows feature four panes on the upper sashes and eight on the lower. A central porch with a pediment and architrave leads to a panelled door, and the gable ends are finished with fascia.
