Description
35 Main Street is a pair of small shops with a former dwelling above, now combined into one shop with a store above. Although it was previously thought to be from the 17th century, it likely dates from the 18th century. The ground floor is made of painted stone, while the jettied upper floor features painted roughcast render, probably on a timber frame, topped with a stone slate roof. The building has a single-depth rectangular plan that runs parallel to the street, consisting of three structural bays defined by roof trusses, along with a short set-back section to the left.
The exterior has two low storeys and features a symmetrical arrangement of windows, with two on the upper floor. The jettied upper floor extends out on the ends of three square-sectioned beams that are asymmetrically grouped near the center, with the second and third beams supported by simple cast-iron columns. Below these beams, there are three doorways: one wider doorway to the left with 20th-century double doors, and two to the right with 19th-century panelled doors. To the left of the wider doorway is a six-pane shop window with thin glazing bars, and to the right of the right-hand doorway is a smaller oblong window without glazing bars. The jettied upper floor has two tall, widely-separated two-light casements with four-pane lights and slender glazing bars. The left side of the upper floor features a very narrow window with a transom. There is a gable chimney on the left side. The short set-back section to the left includes alley doors at ground level and small two-light casements above. At the rear, a 20th-century dormer is visible.
Inside, there are two pegged principal-rafter roof trusses with curved angle-braces, supporting two pairs of trenched purlins, and a timber partition beneath the first of these trusses.
