No 17 Including Forecourt Retaining Walls

No 17, including the forecourt and retaining walls, is a house dated 1908, built for Christine Hamlyn, possibly on a 17th-century site. The building has a rubble core, is smooth-rendered and colourwashed, and features a gabled-ended slate roof with a clay ridge and a brick stack on the right. The layout includes a direct entry from the front door leading to a parlour on the left with a gable-end fireplace, and a kitchen on the right, also with a gable-end fireplace. The house has a single room depth with two rooms on the ground floor.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical arrangement of four windows. On the first floor, there are four 2-light casements with diamond-paned leaded lights, and three similar casements on the ground floor. The door opening is located under the second window from the left, featuring a 9-panelled door in a neo-17th-century style, topped with a slated pent hood supported by three wooden brackets. The forecourt is raised with rubble and has slate capping and iron railings.

Inside, both the kitchen and parlour fireplaces have wooden bressumers; the kitchen fireplace is unchamfered and has an adjacent bread oven with an iron door, while the parlour fireplace features a chamfered lintel with stepped stops, suggesting the reuse of 17th-century timber. There is no evidence to indicate that any of the current fabric of the house is from the 17th century. The house was once divided into two separate dwellings.
