No. 41 Main Street

No. 41 Main Street is a house, later used as a shop, probably dating to the 17th century and altered subsequently. It is built of random mixed rubble with a rendered facade, and likely has a slate roof. The building has a rectangular, two-unit plan set at right angles to the street.

The front facade, dating to around 1870-80, is gabled with three windows. At ground floor is a symmetrical shop front featuring a central splay leading to a recessed entrance with a 20th-century glazed door, flanked by plate-glass windows. Simple pilasters with incised enrichment suggesting an Ionic Order frame these openings, topped by a frieze with painted lettering that projects forward over the doorway. The first floor has a central canted oriel window with sash glazing, flanked by narrow windows with four-pane upper sashes. The second floor has a pair of square cross-windows. The overhanging gable verges have simple bargeboarding.

The return side has long through-stones, a central doorway, a small window above it to the left, a blocked window to the right, and a taller blocked opening above that (likely a former doorway), all with slate dripbands. The rear gable features a prominent external chimney stack with two slate bands and a cornice. It is flanked by twelve-pane sash windows on the ground floor, smaller hornless sash windows with exposed boxes on the first floor, and small four-pane fixed windows in the attic, all with slate dripbands.

The first-floor front room contains front-to-back muntin-and-rail panelled partitioning off-axis to the west, and mixed panelling on the east wall. The attic contains three principal-rafter trusses; the northern and southern trusses have collars, and the central truss has principals pegged at the apex to a short pendent strut (or yoke) carrying a diagonally-set ridge purlin.
