Description
The Old Shop is a building that originally served as a shop and house, now functioning solely as a house. It dates from the early 19th century, with a late 19th-century addition at the rear. The structure features coursed and squared rubble with a hipped double-span slate roof and brick stacks. It stands two storeys tall and has two bays, with virtually flush-mounted 12 and 16-pane sash windows that have exposed sash boxes. The ground floor includes a 16-pane sash window on the left, which has three horizontal bars on its lower half, and a 28-pane single-storey canted box window on the right, set on a brick base and topped with a cornice and lead capping. The central door opening contains a six-panelled door. There are lean-tos on each return to the right, featuring a conforming 16-pane sash window and a large 20th-century box dormer, while the left side has a two-light wooden-mullioned window with stanchion bars, wooden shutters, and a corrugated-iron roof.
