Description
31 Main Street in Mochrum is a single-storey and attic cottage built in the mid to later 19th century, specifically after 1848. It is part of a terraced row and features painted rubble construction with painted dressings. The cottage has a simply architraved doorcase, a rusticated rybated margin around the window, and rusticated quoins on the east elevation.
On the south elevation facing Main Street, there is a doorway in the left bay with a deep-set modern door, and a window in the right bay. Above the right bay, there is a modern flat-roofed dormer window.
The west elevation is attached to No 29 Main Street, which is listed separately. The east elevation is gabled and blank, featuring modern glazing. It has red sandstone coped skews and scrolled skewputts that are shared with the west elevation. The cottage has painted rubble stacks with red sandstone rusticated quoins and copes, also mutual to the west, with a gablehead to the east. The roof is covered with small felt tiles, and both stacks have square cans.
