Description

This building, located at 1 Lower Street, is a former shop and house that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the 17th century and is constructed of random rubble with a pantile roof and a rendered end stack on the right side. The building has two storeys and two bays.

On the first floor, there are two-light ogee-moulded stone-mullioned windows, each featuring a four-light casement. The ground floor has two early 19th-century 12-pane shop fronts; the one on the right is beneath a wooden lintel, while the one on the left is framed by an ogee-moulded stone surround with a stopped label. There is a central door opening also in an ogee-moulded stone surround, which contains a mid-19th-century four-panelled door. Plain wrought iron sill guards are present at the ground floor window openings. To the right, there is a two-storey outshut with double plank doors beneath a concrete lintel at the ground floor.
