Description
This is a house located at 23 High Street, dating from the early to mid-17th century. It is built of regularly coursed limestone and features a thatched roof. The original layout was a two-unit plan, and the house is a single storey with an attic. The front has a two-window range of leaded casement windows set under wooden lintels, and there are eyebrow dormers in the attic. At one end, there is a brick and stone stack that has remnants of an ashlar plinth. A plank door at the rear is also set under a wooden lintel.
Inside, the room to the right of the entrance has an open fireplace with a bressumer beam. There is a stop-chamfered spine beam, and a dog-leg staircase rises between the ground floor rooms. The roof structure features a collar truss with side purlins.
