Old Fleece

The Old Fleece is a house in a row, dating from the 17th century or earlier, and restored in 1942 by Sir George Oatley. It is constructed of squared and coursed limestone with a stone slate roof. The building is long, with eaves level with the street, and has been modified to include a throughway on the right, providing access to the adjoining property, Little Fleece. The house has two storeys and an attic, with three windows facing the street.

The ground floor has a replacement three-light chamfer mullion casement, a three plus two-light casement with a king mullion, and a blank light, all set under a continuous drip. The drip is cut back to the left where a door was inserted. The first floor has three: two: three-light, set back chamfer mullioned casements, each with a stopped drip. There is a two-light casement in a gabled eaves dormer on the right side. An off-centre elliptical-headed opening on the left contains a pair of part-glazed plank doors, with the right half solid plank. A large paired stone stack with a capping and skirt is located far to the left.
