Description

No 17 on Selwood Road is a late 17th century to early 18th century building that stands two storeys tall and is constructed of roughly coursed rubble. It features a pantile roof and has two windows on the front, which are three-light casements with drips. The wooden mullions front stone cavetto moulded mullions, and the centre lights are sashes. The ground floor has a modern two-light casement window on the right side. There is a central doorway, and some disturbance on the right side was caused by a later cottage that joined to No 20 and has since been removed. The former roofline is visible from the right-hand return, and the outline of two former gables from a one-and-a-half storey cottage can be faintly seen in front. At the rear, there is a one-bay, two-storey extension that includes a pair of early 19th century multi-pane sash windows on the ground floor, along with a stair projection that has a catslide roof. Inside, the stairs appear to be early 19th century and feature turned newels.
