Description
No. 6 Fore Street is an inn that has been converted into a house. It dates from the late 18th century, with some alterations made in the mid-19th century. The building is rendered and colourwashed, likely built on a rubble core, and features a gabled thatched roof with a brick stack on the left side.
The structure has two storeys and an asymmetrical arrangement of windows, with four on the left and one on the right. The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, except for a three-light casement on the first floor, which also has glazing bars. The right bay of the building is set forward. There are two door openings: on the left, there are paired vertical plank doors, and on the right, there is a half-glazed door.
Inside, the building has been significantly altered in the 20th century. The hall features an 18th-century straight-flight staircase. There is a fireplace in the central room with a rear lateral stack, which has a repaired wooden bressumer. The roof is an 18th-century collar-beam roof, with principals that have lapped apexes and lapped and face-pegged collars. There is no evidence of an earlier roof.
