Description
Numbers 6 and 8, along with the attached Stable Cottage at the rear, are a house now functioning as a shop, dating from the mid-17th century with later alterations. The front features render over timber-framing, while the right side is made of coursed limestone rubble. The building has a stone slate roof and a rebuilt brick stack at the right end. It has two gables on the front and is two storeys high with an attic, presenting a two-window range.
On the first floor, there are two canted oriel windows, each with four lights, timber mullions, leaded casements, and flat lead tops. Above these, in the gables, are two two-light leaded casements. The ground floor has three 20th-century two-light leaded windows and a half-glazed leaded door from the same period. There is a jetty over the ground floor, supported by carved brackets at the base of both gables.
Inside, there is a closed well staircase leading from the ground to the second floor. The ground floor rooms on the left and right feature chamfered beams with step stops. The left room has a moulded stone fireplace with a Tudor-arched opening, while a similar fireplace on the right has been damaged and altered. The first-floor rooms on both sides also have similar fireplaces, and the oriel windows have ovolo-moulded mullions with carved brackets on either side. The rear of the first floor contains an early 19th-century reeded stone fireplace with a mid-19th-century grate, possibly relocated from another site. The roof structure includes curved principals, trenched purlins, and extended collars. The Stable Cottage, which is the rear wing, dates from the 18th or early 19th century.
