32, Fore Street

32 Fore Street is a house that includes a shop, built around 1700. It is constructed from local grey limestone rubble, with the front elevation stuccoed and blocked out, while the rear elevation is slate-hung above a cartway, likely on a timber frame. The roof is covered with peg-slate and cement slurry, half hipped at the left end and continuous with No. 33 on the right. The building has three stacks made from local grey stone rubble.

The layout features a deep plan associated with a rear court called Fowlers Court. The main block is one room wide and one room deep, with a left end and rear lateral stack. There is a rear service wing with a left end stack and a cartway to the left, which has a room above accessed by external steps.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical front that has one window above the cartway. Deep coved eaves extend across the main block. The late 19th-century projecting shop front features a fascia and cornice, with plate-glass shop windows that have moulded frames and are canted towards a glazed shop door with an overlight. The first floor has a late 19th or early 20th-century canted bay window with a modillion eaves cornice and glazed with two-pane horned sashes. Above the cartway is a late 18th-century 16-pane hornless boxed sash window. The left side of the main block has a blocked doorway into the cartway, while the rear wing features three early 19th-century small-pane sashes on the left side and a catslide roof at the rear. The external steps leading to the room over the cartway are a notable feature of the rear court.

The interior is plain, with a party wall shared with No. 33 made of studwork, which is said to show evidence of a doorway that once existed.
