Description
No. 17 Love Lane is a house dating from the late 17th century. It is built of limestone rubble and features plain concrete tiles, along with a single-storey lean-to roof that curves forward to the right, covered with pantiles. The house has brick stacks, one on the party wall to the right and another at the left gable end, both set forward from the ridge. The layout consists of two units and it has two storeys with a two-window range.
The entrance is a planked door located to the far left, which is situated below a 20th-century two-light casement window. To the right on the ground floor, there are two possibly 19th-century two-light casements, all of which are set under wooden lintels.
Inside, there is an inglenook fireplace featuring a run-out stopped chamfered beam, which is half infilled, located against the left party wall. The ground floor also includes two chamfered cross-beams and a timber-framed internal wall with a door opening at the rear. There are cupboard stairs to the rear right, and the wall on the first floor to the left, which is the party wall, has a recessed shouldered arch.
