40 And 41, Fore Street

Nos. 40 and 41 on Fore Street in Hartland are a house and shop dating from the early 19th century. The building has rendered stone walls with plastered quoins and a gable-ended slate roof, featuring a brick stack at the right-hand end. It has a double depth plan, with the shop on the left and the house part on the right, which has a separate entrance. The exterior is two storeys high and presents an asymmetrical three-window front with early 19th-century 12-pane hornless sashes on the first floor. Below, there is an early 19th-century double bay small-paned shop window, topped with a cornice and a pentice that extends between the bays over a central 20th-century part-glazed door. To the right of the shop window is another similar door. Inside, the shop shows few original features.
