22 And 23, Fore Street

22 and 23 Fore Street is a house that includes a shop, likely dating back to the early 18th century but remodeled in the late 1850s or early 1860s, around the same time as No. 23. The building is constructed from local stone rubble, which is stuccoed and blocked out, and features a slate roof that is gabled at both ends. The chimney stacks have rendered shafts with platbands and decorative barley-sugar twisted pots.

The building has a double-depth plan, two rooms wide, with a passage entrance located to the left of the shopfront. It stands two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with one window on the left and three windows on the right, displaying regular fenestration. The left block is slightly set forward, featuring a canted corner and a gable at the front adorned with curly pierced bargeboards.

On the ground floor, there are two late 19th-century horned sash windows and one first-floor window, all with four panes. The doorway leading to the accommodation in the right-hand block is to the left, framed by a moulded doorcase and a six-panel door with an overlight. The late 19th-century shop front to the right includes pilasters with sunk panels, a projecting cornice with a stylized foliage frieze, and a plate-glass shop window with a moulded frame and rounded upper corners. To the left, there is a half-glazed panelled shop door with a deep overlight that also has rounded upper corners.

On the first floor, there are three four-pane hornless sash windows with moulded architraves and sill blocks. Inside No. 22, the space has been modernized, but the attic contains a blocked two-light timber mullioned window and the truss of the gabled section facing the road incorporates a jointed cruck as a principal rafter. The main roof at the rear of the gable block has principal rafters that are mortised into tie beams.
