42, Long Street

No. 42 Long Street is a dwelling that was formerly used as shops on the ground floor. It dates from the 18th century and features rough render on its exterior, with a stone slate roof on the front slope and wing, and a concrete tile roof on the back slope. The building has large central stone stacks and is T-shaped, with a broad and deep wing made of rendered rubble that includes a through-way to Rope Walk on the extreme left.

The structure is two storeys high and has two plus one windows, featuring sash windows with bars and broad surrounds. There are double former shop fronts from the early 19th century, with a flat oriel window on the left that has glazing bars and small panes, and a similar window on the right, although the window below has a flat top instead of a bowed one. There is a modern glazed door on the right side.

The rear wing has two-light casements with rectangular leaded panes and includes a square stair turret in the internal angle, which has a very small direct glazed opening with two vertical bars. Inside, there is a two-flight oak newel stair with a round newel located in the projecting turret. The building also features deep chamfered and stopped beams, including one on the first floor at the back.
