Description

No. 1 North Street is a house and shop that dates back to the late medieval period, with the front being remodeled and a rear range added in the 18th or early 19th century. The building features rendered walls, with the ground floor rear wall and gable walls in the roof space made of stone rubble. The upper storey front has traces of lining designed to imitate masonry. It has a slated roof and a rendered chimney on the right gable of the front roof span. The structure consists of parallel ranges that are two rooms wide, with a chimney in each gable wall. It stands two storeys high and is two windows wide. The ground storey has a central pent-roof across the entire front. The upper storey windows are barred sashes with eight panes, while the right-hand window includes two-paned side sashes.

Inside, the ground storey has had partitions removed, revealing a chamfered cross-beam with stepped stops and some original joists that are about 15 centimeters wide. The upper floor features a mid-19th century chimney piece on the right, complete with flanking pilasters and a contemporary round-headed iron grate. The building has a four-bay medieval roof with gable trusses, although only the feet of the second truss from the left remain. The rest of the roof structure is intact, with threaded purlins, mortice and tenoned-cranked collars, and tenons for ashlar posts, of which only one appears to survive. The timbers show signs of being smoke-blackened, likely from an open hearth. The rear roof span has been largely rebuilt but retains one truss from the 18th or early 19th century, which has a collar pegged to its face.
