62-66, North Street And Attached Walls, Railings And Stable

62-66 North Street is a group of two houses, now divided into three, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. The buildings are constructed of limestone rubble with Ham Hill stone buttresses, featuring stepped stone coping and brick stacks at the ends and along the party wall. The roof is covered with plain tiles, with three lower courses of stone slates. Each original house has a two-unit plan, with No.62 on the right having a later rear wing to the left.

The exterior is two storeys high, with each original house displaying a symmetrical three-window arrangement. All openings have wooden lintels, and the windows are three-light casements, each with two panes per light. The central original doors are planked and studded, equipped with wrought-iron strap hinges on the inside. No.66 has a 20th-century door added to the left of the door for No.64.

Inside No.62, the ground floor features stone flagging, with cross beams in both rooms resting on the window lintels. These beams are square at the front and stop-chamfered at the rear, with long run-out stops. The right room has a deep chimney breast with a 20th-century fireplace and signs of a staircase to its left. The 19th-century rear wing, built into rising ground, includes two wide, low segmental arches that were used for barrel storage when it operated as a public house.

The property also includes subsidiary features such as spearhead forecourt railings on a rubblestone revetment wall, with plain gate piers at the sides and center. High rubblestone walls enclose the gardens on the sides and rear, connecting to the rear wing. At the right corner of No.62, there is a stable block featuring a morticed beam for a former upper floor and a former door to the first-floor rear. A painted inscription on the right-hand buttress reads "Good stabling and well aired beds," indicating its history as the Volunteer Inn.
