Talboys House

Talboys House is a large building dating from 1620, originally constructed by Richard Talboys. It now functions as a shop with flats above. The exterior is finished in stucco, likely over coursed rubble stone, and features a Cotswold stone slate roof at the front and a concrete tile roof at the rear, with the stacks not visible. The main structure has two cross gables and projects as two three-storey square bays at the front, with long ranges extending to the rear.

The ground floor includes a central shop doorway flanked by two large shop windows in the base of the bays, each with square hoodmoulds. There is an additional small light to the right and a door leading to a through passageway on the left. On the first floor, each square bay features a four-light stone mullion window with ovolo moulding and a king mullion, along with two single side lights and a continuous dripmould. Below the left-hand window is a panel of ornamental plasterwork displaying the initials RT. Each gable has a three-light stone mullion window with square hoodmoulds and two single side lights, with the outer ones also having square hoodmoulds. The gables are coped, and there is a central four-pane sash window above the shop door.

Inside, the first floor contains a wooden newel stair and a fine original stone fireplace with a ballflower frieze, which has been relocated from below the newel stair to another wall. There is also an additional original stone fireplace in an adjacent room.
