NOS 58, 60 (ORCHARD HOUSE) AND 62

This is a late 16th-century house, originally detached, which has been converted into a row of two houses with a shop. A further house was added in 1904, and a shop front built in the late 19th century. The building is constructed from coursed rubble limestone, with roughcast render on the front elevation and red brick elsewhere. Chimneys are of brick and ashlar limestone, and the roof is stone slate, with some plain tiles to the rear of the 1904 addition.

Originally designed as an L-shaped house with two storeys and an attic, the eastern return wing now contains the shop, and the northern side has the 1904 addition. Number 60, at the centre of the front, has a two-window arrangement, with a central doorway containing a 20th-century door and a gabled timber porch. There are recessed cavetto mullioned casement windows to the left, with a 2+2-light pattern on the ground floor and a 4-light above. The cavetto mullioned casement windows to the right appear to be later, each floor having a 3-light window. Number 62 has a single 4-light recessed cavetto casement window on each floor. A brick chimney on the roof slope indicates the original end of Number 60. A late 19th-century shop front has been built into the return wing, obscuring the former jettied gable end that is shown in an early illustration. The north end of the building has a single sash window on each floor, and two single-lights in the attic. A brick chimney with a datestone reading ‘J H H/1904’ is located immediately below the gable. A smaller gable end to the right belongs to a parallel-roofed block to the rear. The rear of Number 60 has a projecting gabled wing with a chimney to the right, containing a 2-light casement window at ground floor level and a 3-light window above. A roughcast extension has been added to the left. The building is shown in a local history publication.
