24, West Street

No. 24 West Street is a house with a shop, likely dating from the 17th century or earlier, and remodeled in the 18th century. The front is slate-hung and is almost certainly timber-framed, topped with a slated roof. A large rendered chimney with a tapered cap is located at the rear and is visible from the car park. The building features a two-room wide front range with a through-passage to the right and a long rear wing to the left. It stands two storeys high with garrets and has a four-window-wide facade. The shop front dates from the mid or late 19th century, while the upper storey has eight-paned sash windows. There are two dormer gables of unequal sizes, with the slate-hanging continuing up to eaves level. Each dormer has a three-light wood casement window with six panes per light, and a moulded cornice runs across each gable at eaves level.

The interior was inspected during building work in 1984, revealing that the ground floor of the front range has been converted into a single shop with a side-passage. A tall 17th-century fireplace is located in the rear wall at the left-hand end, featuring a monolithic granite right-hand jamb and a chamfered cranked wood lintel. The ceiling beam is chamfered with step-stops, and the roof trusses include mortice-and-tenoned collars, although most are now missing, along with threaded purlins and no ridge. There is no substantial division between this building and No. 26, suggesting that they may have originally been one structure.
