Description
29-31 Selwood Road is a building that dates back to before 1688 and has undergone alterations. It is constructed from roughly coursed rubble and features a pantile roof, with Nos 30 and 31 having raking top dormers. The building is two storeys high and consists of four bays. Nos 29 and 30 have modern casement windows, while No 29 includes a mid-19th century cross-glazed sash window on the ground floor to the left. No 30 has an inserted "window" in a former four-light mullioned opening, with the drip and surround still retained. No 31 features a worn three-light mullion window on the first floor with a drip and a later casement window on the ground floor. There is a gable-lit attic and traces of a first-floor window with a drip in the gable end. No 29 has blocked windows in its gable end and a two-storey extension that was formerly a separate cottage. Inside, each house has a winder stair with a moulded pattern on the risers and stop-chamfered beams. In No 30, there is a 17th-century six-panelled oak door in a moulded surround.
