Description
22/24 West Street is a house with medieval origins, dating from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. It is constructed of squared coursed limestone and has a Collyweston slate roof. Originally a hall house, it has been transformed into a U-shaped range and stands two storeys tall.
The elevation facing West Street features a 19th-century two-window range with a blank gable end of a cross-wing to the left. The windows are 19th-century style casements set under wooden lintels. A 20th-century door is located in the centre, also under a wooden lintel. To the left of the cross-wing, there is a three-window range. The central and left two-window range has 19th-century style casements under wooden lintels at the ground floor, along with Lincolnshire dormers at the eaves. A casement window on the first floor to the right has glazing bars and is also under a wooden lintel.
A lateral stone stack is positioned to the left of centre, featuring two ashlar flues with a moulded cornice, while there is a brick and stone stack at the end. The gable end of the rear range, which is attached to the far left, was originally a medieval hall but is now truncated. The rear elevation has a one-window range of 20th-century windows, and the gable end to the right mirrors the two-window range. Additionally, the rear elevation includes a three-light stone mullion window.
Inside, the first floor of the rear range features a cruck with one arch-braced collar, curved wind braces, and a shaped saddle supporting the ridge piece. The range linking the front and rear wings has a raised cruck. There are two open fireplaces at ground floor level. The medieval hall was likely subdivided in the 16th or 17th century and was used as three dwellings until the mid-20th century.
