Description

6 Main Street is a Tudoresque, double-fronted two-storey house with large gabled half dormers and a tall prominent chimney stack. It forms part of a broken terrace of former estate workers' cottages built around 1840, originally containing eight small dwellings, a smithy and a store.

The terrace was constructed for Forde estate workers, replacing modest single-storey cottages recorded in the 1836 valuation. By the mid-20th century the buildings had become vacant and fell into disrepair. The entire grouping was acquired by Hearth Housing Trust in the mid-1970s and underwent complete renovation in 1983-84. During this process, each pair of houses was amalgamated to form four larger properties (of which this is one), and the smithy and store were converted into two further dwellings. Redundant doorways to the front were made into small windows, and a large gable was added to the rear of each house.

The building is situated on the south side of Main Street near the centre of Seaforde village, set at the east end of the longer eastern terrace and abutting a larger house. There is an open lawn to the front and enclosed gardens to the rear.

The front façade faces north and is asymmetrical. Slightly to the right of centre is a timber-sheeted door. To the left and right of this are relatively large three-light casement windows with four vertically arranged panes to each light. To the far left, where a doorway previously existed, is a smaller window in similar style. On the first floor, within the large gabled half dormers, are two further casement windows of similar design. The rear elevation has a timber-sheeted door with a small casement window to either side. On the first floor right is a gabled half-dormer with window matching the front. The façade is rendered and painted. The gabled roof is covered in natural slate with two Velux windows to the rear. A large central chimney stack with three tall pots positioned in diamond formation rises prominently. Metal rainwater goods complete the external features.
