Description
Woolcomber House and Woolcomber Cottage, located on Sheep Street, is a late 18th century remodelling of a 16th century house. The building features coursed rubble with a Cotswold stone roof and stands two storeys high with three windows on the front, which are sashes with glazing bars. The ground floor includes modern tripartite sashes flanking a doorway that has sidelights and a fanlight. The upper floor windows are adorned with stone architraves. The roof is steeply pitched and has three ashlar ridge stacks.
Woolcomber Cottage, an early 19th century two-storey extension to the left, has two windows, a low pitched slate roof, and a modern shop window on the left side. Inside, the entrance boasts a black and white flagged floor and a plain staircase from around the 1830s. The interior features a good cross-beam with heavily moulded beams and joists that extend beyond the partition towards the rear, along with a large Tudor arch fireplace. The west end of the building includes Tudor arch fireplaces on both the first and ground floors.
