Numbers 39, 41 And 43 And Attached Wall And Gate Piers

This is a house, originally built in the mid-17th century, and subsequently divided into three dwellings. It has undergone additions in the early to mid-19th century and alterations in the 20th century. The structure consists of a mid-17th century range at a right angle to a street-front range rebuilt in the early to mid-19th century, with a rear wing formed by the older section. The front range is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, with some old render on the rear wing. It has a Welsh slate roof with a 19th-century stack on the left end facing the street, while the rear wing has a stone slate roof, a rendered left-end stack, and a large, partly external lateral stack with the upper section rebuilt in ashlar. The street-facing range is a three-storey, two-window design, featuring two eight/eight-pane sash windows on each floor, a shallow ashlar plinth, and a cill-band to the first floor. The right side of the rear wing is a two-storey, four-window range. This section has two mid-17th century two-light hollow-chamfered stone-mullion windows with timber casements centrally positioned, alongside two smaller, later openings to the left and right. On the ground floor of the rear wing, there is a large 20th-century timber window and a 20th-century door to the left, a further 20th-century window and door to the centre, and a 20th-century window to the right, all under timber lintels, except for the rightmost which has a concrete lintel. A gable wall at the rear of the rear wing was rebuilt in the 20th century using reconstituted stone. The left side of the rear wing has a first-floor mid-17th century hollow-chamfered window on the right, with a stone mullion cut away and a leaded casement. The ground floor of this side has a three-light 20th-century timber casement under a chamfered timber lintel to the right, and a round 20th-century window to the left. The interior of the house was not inspected. An attached limestone ashlar wall, approximately 2 meters high and with ashlar coping, incorporates a 20th-century gate set within quadrant walls connecting two rusticated gate piers with pyramidal ashlar caps. The pier on the right has vermiculated rusticated stones to the centre of each face.
